Question

A company needs to monitor the disk utilization of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. The EBS volumes are attached to Amazon EC2 Linux instances. A SysOps administrator must set up an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that provides an alert when disk utilization increases to more than 80%. Which combination of steps must the SysOps administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Option C: Install and start the CloudWatch agent by using AWS Systems Manager or the command line. Option E: Configure a CloudWatch alarm to enter ALARM state when the disk_used_percent CloudWatch metric is greater than 80%. 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.
