As far as Target Tracking goes, I chose to manually create the alarms to bring more control in. I believe there are opinionated metrics and thresholds for Target Tracking. I personally have no problem about siding with AWS's opinion, but sometimes there are reasons to deviate. It took me a while to figure out how to handle auto scaling without Target Tracking which is why I wanted to give that knowledge to the interwebs.

As far as the "code review", thanks for pointing that out! I had since figured out that we can call attributes in a !Sub, but it's good to point out.
