AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 317

Question

A company is experiencing issues with legacy software running on Amazon EC2 instances. Errors occur when the total CPU utilization on the EC2 instances exceeds 80%. A short-term solution is required while the software is being rewritten. A SysOps administrator is tasked with creating a solution to restart the instances when the CPU utilization rises above 80%. Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Add an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for CPU utilization and configure the alarm action to reboot the EC2 instances. 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.
