AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 112

A SysOps Administrator responsible for an e-commerce web application observes the application does not launch new Amazon EC2 instances at peak times, even though the maximum capacity of the Auto Scaling group has not been reached.
What should the Administrator do to identify the underlying problem? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Monitor service limits in AWS Trusted Advisor.
• B. Analyze VPC Flow Logs.
• C. Monitor limits in AWS Systems Manager.
• D. Use Amazon Inspector to gather performance information.
• E. Check the response for RunInstances requests in AWS CloudTrail logs.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, C and D, relate to monitoring and analyzing system performance and limits. AWS Systems Manager can help identify if operational thresholds are being hit, while Amazon Inspector can provide insights into application performance. The other options either do not directly address the issue or focus on different aspects not related to the immediate problem of EC2 instance launch failure.
