AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 368
A company is using Amazon CloudWatch alarms to monitor Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) workloads. The alarms are initiated through a threshold definition and are not helping the EKS cluster operate more efficiently.
A SysOps administrator must implement a solution that identifies anomalies and generates recommendations for how to address the anomalies.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
Answer options
- A. Use CloudWatch anomaly detection to identify anomalies and provide recommendations
- B. Use CloudWatch Container Insights with Amazon DevOps Guru to identify anomalies and provide recommendations.
- C. Use CloudWatch Container Insights to identify anomalies and provide recommendations
- D. Use CloudWatch anomaly detection with CloudWatch Container Insights to identify anomalies and provide recommendations
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Amazon DevOps Guru integrates with CloudWatch Container Insights to apply machine learning to container metrics, allowing it to detect operational anomalies and generate specific, actionable recommendations for resolution. While CloudWatch Container Insights and anomaly detection can identify unusual patterns, they do not natively provide prescriptive recommendations to address EKS cluster issues. Therefore, combining Container Insights with Amazon DevOps Guru is the correct solution to meet both requirements.
