Quota utilization monitoring

Feature scope

Resources usage

Describe your suggested feature

Add a capability to monitor and configure alarms based on Service Quotas.

AWS Documentation for quota monitoring: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Quotas-Visualize-Alarms.html

Impact: Being unaware of exceeding the quota for certain resources can be tragic - e.g. not being able to quickly scale up during an incident. Actively monitoring the quotas can make it easier for service owners to prepare ahead for exceeding the quota.

I'm not quite sure what a nice API for this would be, considering there's hundreds of metrics and I'd expect that list to grow over time with more AWS offerings being made available. Do you have something in mind?

monitorCustom is probably the best solution for now in lieu of something specific.

How about just quotas for existing monitoring services? The ones aspected in the current stack.
