Answer options

• A. 4

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes automatically send detailed monitoring metrics to Amazon CloudWatch at 1-minute intervals. Other standard volume types, such as General Purpose SSD, default to sending metrics every 5 minutes. Therefore, the automatic detailed monitoring frequency for Provisioned IOPS is 1 minute.
