AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 305

A SysOps administrator receives an alert that a production Auto Scaling group has been scaled down to two Amazon EC2 instances. The Auto Scaling group was originally configured with a minimum capacity of three instances. However, the SysOps administrator confirms that the configuration now reflects a minimum capacity of two instances.

Which AWS service will help identify who made the change?

Answer options

• A. AWS Config
• B. Amazon Inspector
• C. Amazon Macie
• D. Amazon Cloud Watch Logs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Config monitors and records AWS resource configurations, allowing administrators to track configuration history and determine who made specific changes by integrating with AWS CloudTrail. Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service, Amazon Macie is used for data privacy and security, and Amazon CloudWatch Logs monitors log files, none of which directly track resource configuration history.
