Question

A company is running an application on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. Recently, an issue occurred that prevented EC2 instances from launching successfully, and it took several hours for the support team to discover the issue. The support team wants to be notified by email whenever an EC2 instance does not start successfully. Which action will accomplish this?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Configure the Auto Scaling group to send a notification to an Amazon SNS topic whenever a failed instance launch occurs. Auto Scaling adjusts capacity automatically to match demand, improving availability and cost efficiency. Amazon SNS is a managed pub/sub service for fan-out notifications to many subscribers. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance.
