Setup a cloudwatch alarm and have cron send a keepalive email to it..? Without looking, I'm pretty sure that does exactly what you want.

And also entirely possible to do with azure. AWS doesn't make you do that.

Also, depending on precise nature of the dmarc fuckup, wouldn't help anyway. Cloud watch receiving mail doesn't guarantee that you will receive mail.
