AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 76

A user has configured an Auto Scaling group with ELB. The user has enabled detailed CloudWatch monitoring on Elastic Load balancing. Which of the below mentioned statements will help the user understand this functionality better?

Answer options

• A. ELB sends data to CloudWatch every minute only and does not charge the user
• B. ELB will send data every minute and will charge the user extra
• C. ELB is not supported by CloudWatch
• D. It is not possible to setup detailed monitoring for ELB

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because ELB does indeed send data to CloudWatch every minute without incurring additional charges for basic monitoring. Option B is incorrect as it suggests there are extra charges, which is not the case for the basic monitoring. Options C and D are also incorrect since ELB is supported by CloudWatch and detailed monitoring can be set up.
