AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 257

You received reports from clients in another time zone that they experienced an outage of your website several hours before you arrived at work. What two AWS services could prove crucial in figuring out what happened? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. AWS Support
• B. CloudTrail
• C. CloudWatch
• D. Flow Logs

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

CloudTrail is important as it logs all API calls made in your AWS account, which can help trace actions that led to the outage. CloudWatch is essential for monitoring system performance and can provide metrics and logs that reveal the state of your application during the time of the outage. The other options, AWS Support and Flow Logs, do not directly provide the necessary insights into the API activities or performance metrics relevant to diagnosing the issue.
