now I got why answer require 'install agent' normally, AWS automatically install CloudWatch agent. (as far as on-premise installation) however, CPU/Disk(free/used)/RAM(used/cached), Netstat(port), Swap Space can be gathered by "Unified Agent" - that need to be installed manually.

To monitor memory utilization and available disk space on Amazon EC2 instances using Amazon CloudWatch metrics, a SysOps administrator should install and configure the CloudWatch agent on all the instances and attach an IAM role to allow the instances to write logs to CloudWatch. This will allow the CloudWatch agent to collect and publish metrics such as memory usage and available disk space to CloudWatch.

B - to track instance memory you need to install the Cloudwatch agent and attach to the instance profile the right permissions (CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy policy must be attached).
