Automate Incident Response: AWS CloudWatch to ServiceNow with Ansible

Overview

Musewerx automated the full incident response pipeline — from AWS CloudWatch alarm detection during Ansible playbook executions to automatic ServiceNow incident creation — providing real-time IT visibility in a unified dashboard.

The Challenge

The client had no automated way to detect, log, or escalate incidents triggered during Ansible playbook executions in AWS. Incidents were missed or manually logged, leading to slow response times and operational blind spots.

Our Solution

Musewerx deployed a CDK-provisioned AWS infrastructure linking CloudWatch Alarms → SNS Topics → Lambda Functions → ServiceNow REST API. Ansible playbook failures automatically generate prioritized ServiceNow incidents with full context and affected resource details.

Results & Impact

Real-time incident tracking with automated ServiceNow ticket creation
Unified visibility of all Ansible and AWS incidents in one dashboard
Eliminated manual incident logging and reduced response time significantly
Standardized incident escalation and resolution procedures across IT teams
