AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 763

A user has launched a Windows based EC2 instance. However, the instance has some issues and the user wants to check the log. When the user checks the
Instance console output from the AWS console, what will it display?

Answer options

• A. All the event logs since instance boot
• B. The last 10 system event log error
• C. The Windows instance does not support the console output
• D. The last three system events' log errors

Correct answer: D

Explanation

For Windows EC2 instances, the AWS console output displays the last three system event log errors as captured by the EC2 Config or EC2Launch service during the boot cycle. It does not display the entire log history or ten errors, and Windows instances do indeed support console output, making the other options incorrect.
