Amazon CloudWatch allows alarming on data up to 7 days old

[Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch) now lets customers evaluate metrics data for an extended duration of up to 7 days, a 7x increase from the previous limit of 24 hours. This enhancement empowers customers to monitor the health of longer-running or infrequent processes, such as daily data loading jobs or day-over-day performance trends, offering deeper insights into their resources and applications. Customers now have the flexibility to leverage CloudWatch alarms for use cases like near-real-time metric tracking as well as for monitoring patterns that span multiple days. Amazon CloudWatch alarming on multi-day data is now available in all [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) including the [AWS GovCloud (US) Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/). To alarm on multiple days of data, create or update an alarm using the CloudWatch console or [Command Line Interface (CLI)](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/cloudwatch/put-metric-alarm.html), specify a period of at least 3,600 (1 hour) and the number of datapoints that you want to compare against the threshold.
