Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 3, Technical: 4, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Cloudwatcher provides CloudFormation templates for monitoring AWS Organizations by creating CloudWatch alarms on CloudTrail security events and sending email notifications. It's interesting as a packaged security monitoring solution for AWS environments, though it's essentially a configuration wrapper around existing AWS services rather than novel software.

Target audience: devops, cloud-engineers, security-engineers
