Optimize monitoring and reduce Java heap memory allocation
This change includes several operational improvements: - Increase CloudWatch alarm threshold from 80% to 85% CPU for reduced false positives - Enable Container Insights for better ECS monitoring and debugging - Update VPC tag from 'Terraform = true' to 'ManagedBy = Terraform' for consistency - Increase health check interval from 30s to 60s to reduce load balancer overhead - Soften target group description language for better documentation Additionally, we're reducing Java heap memory from 1536MB to 1024MB as part of our ongoing cost optimization initiative. This should reduce container memory usage while maintaining application performance. Impact: Medium - monitoring improvements with memory optimization # Conflicts: # modules/scenarios/main.tf
