The instructions for the CASP+ lab "Assisted Lab: Configure Monitoring in the AWS Cloud" are no longer correct.
The instructions in the section "Use Cloudwatch Events to Alert on Changes" do not match the AWS UI.
The lab instructions need to be updated.
I filed a support request with Skillable, however I don't know when or if this will be fixed, so I thought I should warn other instructors.

Cloudwatch has been replaced by Event Bridge, and the lab instructions need to be updated.

Not exactly right, CloudWatch Events is now called EventBridge. CloudWatch still exists.

Most definitely. Just elaborating out for the OP- CloudWatch is to be used for monitoring. EventBridge is to be used for event-driven architecture. It is being used to respond to your alarms and initiate automated workflows in response to alarms and events. It's an extension of CloudWatch now.

CloudWatch ain't goin' nowhere. :)

abiodun1991, thank you for your request. Thank you also Brian and dlross for explaining the changes at AWS.

I noticed the outdated lab steps while teaching a CASP+ class last week. The students needed help since the lab instructions were incorrect. There was a warning shown in AWS about using EventBridge, and I told the students how to work around the outdated instructions to complete the lab. I did not record the corrected lab steps.

If anyone here has rewritten the lab instructions to match the current AWS user interface, please share your work.
