Dashing Cloudwatch

This is an adjusted version of EC2 CloudWatch stats for Dashing which is not bound to EC2 metrics but a generic widget for cloudwatch graphs. Visualization is done by Rickshawgraph as in the original example.

}

In line #27, AWS needs to be replaced with Aws.

Can someone help me with the instruction to create BillingAlarm Cloudwatch with this?
