AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 235

Which of these metrics cannot help detect a DDoS?

Answer options

• A. EC2 CPUUtilization
• B. ELB SurgeQueueLength
• C. EMR EMRspersecond
• D. CloudFront Requests

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, EMR EMRspersecond, as it measures the rate of EMR jobs and does not relate to identifying DDoS attacks. In contrast, EC2 CPUUtilization, ELB SurgeQueueLength, and CloudFront Requests can provide insights into traffic patterns and resource utilization, which are useful for detecting potential DDoS incidents.
