AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 444

Question

A company observes that a newly created Amazon CloudWatch alarm is not transitioning out of the INSUFFICIENT_DATA state. The alarm was created to track the mem_used_percent metric from an Amazon EC2 instance that is deployed in a public subnet. A review of the EC2 instance shows that the unified CloudWatch agent is installed and is running. However, the metric is not available in CloudWatch. A SysOps administrator needs to implement a solution to resolve this problem. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Create an IAM instance profile that contains CloudWatch permissions. Add the instance profile to the EC2 instance Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. 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.
