Ah this is extremely cool - having set up slackops by building bots on lambdas in the past, I can attest it's way more difficult and time consuming than it should be.<p>For an example of an unexpected issue you face - slackbots must give responses within 3000ms otherwise slack reports the slash command as failed. This means you have to do things like set up a proxy and worker lambda for anything that doesn't execute essentially instantaneously, and even then it sometimes fails to respond within 3000ms on cold starts.<p>A purpose built interface you can just get set up with a few clicks would be a great improvement. Hope the other cloud providers introduce similar services as well.
ChatOps is bidirectional. This appears, at first glance, to simply be an alerting channel that can deliver to Slack.<p>Useful, but only a small piece of a ChatOps picture.
I've been waiting for something like this. But now that it's here it seems a bit complicated to automate the setup if you have lots of accounts.<p>I'll probably just go with an API Gateway proxy for the SNS webhooks in one account and add the webhook setup for the other accounts to their Cloudformation templates.
Tl;dr: Add alerts to your slack channel (or chime, if you use that) from AWS services by essentially adding another target to an SNS topic.<p>List of supported services:
