What the AWS CloudWatch Integration plugin does

The AWS CloudWatch Integration Plugin for Spinnaker enables using AWS CloudWatch as a metrics provider for your canary deployments. For example, you can have an analysis stage that compares CPU utilization across two versions of a service using AWS CloudWatch metrics and then a judgment that determines if the deployment proceeds or rolls back based on the metrics.

See Canary Overview for more information on using canary analysis with Spinnaker.
