Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To detect and address issues effectively, you need services that can provide automated service health notifications and centralized incident tracking. AWS Health offers real-time updates about service disruptions, which can be sent via SNS. CloudWatch monitors AWS resources, and OpsCenter centralizes operational issues for easier tracking and resolution. These services together provide a comprehensive approach to minimizing downtime and improving incident response.
- A. Correct.
AWS Health provides proactive updates and notifications related to AWS service events, and Amazon SNS can be used to send these notifications to subscribers. This combination is effective for staying informed about service events.
- B. Correct.
Amazon CloudWatch monitors AWS resources and applications, while Systems Manager OpsCenter provides a centralized view for operational issues, including the ability to track incidents and their resolutions.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Trusted Advisor provides recommendations for improving performance, security, and cost optimization but is not designed for monitoring or incident management. Systems Manager Patch Manager is focused on patch compliance rather than operational incident tracking.
- D. Correct.
AWS Health provides detailed insights into health events affecting your resources, and Systems Manager OpsCenter allows you to track and manage these events efficiently in a centralized dashboard.
- E. Incorrect.
Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights is useful for analyzing log data, and AWS Config tracks resource configurations, but neither is specifically designed for automated notifications or centralized operational issue management.
