AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 263

Question

A company recently moved its server infrastructure to Amazon EC2 instances. The company wants to use Amazon CloudWatch metrics to track instance memory utilization and available disk space. What should a SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Install and configure the CloudWatch agent on all the instances. Attach an IAM role to allow the instances to write logs to CloudWatch. An IAM role grants temporary, least-privilege permissions to AWS resources without long-term credentials. AWS IAM controls authenticated and authorized access to AWS resources with fine-grained policies. Amazon CloudWatch collects metrics, logs and alarms to monitor and react to operational health.
