AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 320

Use ___________ to get more visibility into the health of your AWS Elastic Beanstalk application and take appropriate actions in case of hardware failure or performance degradation.

Answer options

• A. Amazon Elastic Beanstalk command line
• B. Amazon EC2 log files
• C. Amazon CloudWatch
• D. Amazon Load balancing

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon CloudWatch is the primary monitoring service in AWS that tracks metrics, collects logs, and sets alarms, providing the necessary visibility to respond to hardware failures or performance drops in AWS Elastic Beanstalk. While Amazon EC2 log files and the Elastic Beanstalk CLI provide diagnostic information, they do not offer real-time monitoring and automated alerting capabilities. Amazon Elastic Load Balancing distributes incoming traffic but is not a dedicated system monitoring and visibility tool.
