AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 68

A company is migrating a 20 TB SAP S/4HANA system to AWS. The company wants continuous monitoring of the SAP S/4HANA system and wants to receive notification when CPU utilization is greater than 90%. An SAP solutions architect must implement a solution that provides this notification with the least possible effort.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Create an AWS Lambda function that checks CPU utilization and sends the notification.
• B. Use AWS CloudTrail to check the CPU utilization metric. Set up an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to send the notification.
• C. Use Amazon CloudWatch to set a CPU utilization alarm. Set up an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to send the notification.
• D. Use the Amazon CloudWatch dashboard to monitor CPU utilization. Set up an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to send the notification.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Amazon CloudWatch is specifically designed for monitoring AWS resources and can easily set alarms based on defined thresholds, such as CPU utilization. Options A and B require more effort to implement and do not provide a straightforward solution, while option D does not proactively alert but only provides a dashboard for monitoring.
