AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 220

A user is collecting 1000 records per second. The user wants to send the data to CloudWatch using the custom namespace. Which of the below mentioned options is recommended for this activity?

Answer options

• A. Aggregate the data with statistics, such as Min, max, Average, Sum and Sample data and send the data to CloudWatch
• B. Send all the data values to CloudWatch in a single command by separating them with a comma. CloudWatch will parse automatically
• C. Create one csv file of all the data and send a single file to CloudWatch
• D. It is not possible to send all the data in one call. Thus, it should be sent one by one. CloudWatch will aggregate the data automatically

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because aggregating the data using statistics allows for efficient data transmission and reduces the number of API calls. Option B is incorrect as CloudWatch does not automatically parse comma-separated values. Option C is not suitable since CloudWatch does not accept bulk CSV uploads, and option D is wrong as sending data one by one is inefficient compared to aggregation.
