AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 327

Which of the following statements is true of AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

Answer options

• A. AWS Elastic Beanstalk uses CloudWatch for monitoring and alarms, meaning CloudWatch costs are applied to your AWS account for any alarms that you use.
• B. AWS Elastic Beanstalk uses CloudWatch for monitoring and alarms, and both are free of charge.
• C. AWS Elastic Beanstalk doesn't use CloudWatch for monitoring and alarms, but you pay extra for any AWS Elastic Beanstalk Alarm you set in the monitoring tool.
• D. AWS Elastic Beanstalk has its own free-of-charge monitoring tool, and you are not charged for the alarm you set.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Elastic Beanstalk integrates with Amazon CloudWatch to provide monitoring and alarm capabilities, and any alarms you create will incur standard CloudWatch charges on your AWS bill. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because Elastic Beanstalk does not have its own proprietary monitoring system, nor does it offer CloudWatch alarm features for free.
