AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 240

A user has deployed an application on his private cloud. The user is using his own monitoring tool. He wants to configure that whenever there is an error, the monitoring tool should notify him via SMS. Which of the below mentioned AWS services will help in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. None because the user infrastructure is in the private cloud/
• B. AWS SNS
• C. AWS SES
• D. AWS SMS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS SNS (Simple Notification Service) is designed for sending notifications, including SMS, which directly addresses the user's need for error alerts. The other options do not fit this scenario: AWS SES (Simple Email Service) is for email notifications, AWS SMS is a service for sending text messages but not for notifications, and option A incorrectly dismisses AWS services that can be utilized.
