AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 201

A company that has AWS Enterprise Support is launching a new version of a popular product in 2 months. The company expects a large increase in traffic to its website. The website is hosted on Amazon EC2 instances.

Which action should the company take to assess its readiness to scale for this launch?

Answer options

• A. Replace the EC2 instances with AWS Lambda functions.
• B. Use AWS Infrastructure Event Management (IEM) support.
• C. Submit a request on AWS Marketplace to monitor the event.
• D. Review the coverage reports in the AWS Cost Management console.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as AWS Infrastructure Event Management (IEM) provides guidance and support to prepare for events that can cause significant traffic spikes, making it vital for scaling readiness. Options A and C do not directly address the company's immediate need to assess scaling capabilities, while D focuses on cost rather than operational readiness.
