'How do I build a aws cloud monitoring which alerts when any new resource (ec2 or rds or s3) is launched

We have individual teams that are launching ec2/rds/s3 instances and they are not choosing right instances or leaving instances running for long time, so how do I build a simple alert system that tells me what was launched?

I am trying to looking into building something on top of cloudwatch but I have to use SNS to do it. Is this the right approach?

they are not choosing right instances or leaving instances running for long time

You can simply introduce an IAM policy that will restrict the instance launch with specific Instance types
Long-running Servers: you can make use of CW metrics and take necessary action

For RDS, S3 and other resources, I would recommend AWS Config so that you can keep track of all of your resources.
