The cloudformation defines alarms for monitoring. When fired, the alarms ping a webhook specified as the AlertWebhook parameter, allowing integration with tools like Pager Duty.

MediaAtomMaker5XXAlarm

If such alerts become a regular occurrence and are ignored the alarm should be updated to be less trigger happy.
