title: Amazon Cloud Watch Maintenance Window
body: <p>We are pushing a metric to cloud watch and would like to create an alarm when the value goes below a certain value. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that we have maintenance which causes the metric to drop so we don't want to get an alarm during the maintenance window. </p>
  
  <p>I can't see any way of doing this besides disabling the alarm during the maintenance window. Is there a better way of doing this? Can a maintenance window be specified? </p>
