AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 132

Question

A SysOps administrator must create a solution that automatically shuts down any Amazon EC2 instances that have less than 10% average CPU utilization for 60 minutes or more. Which solution will meet this requirement in the MOST operationally efficient manner?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Implement an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for each EC2 instance to monitor average CPU utilization. Set the period at 1 hour, and set the threshold at 10%. Configure an EC2 action on the alarm to stop the instance. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. Amazon CloudWatch collects metrics, logs and alarms to monitor and react to operational health. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance.
