A company needs to monitor the disk utilization of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. The EBS volumes are attached to Amazon EC2 Linux instances. A SysOps administrator must set up an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that provides an alert when disk utilization increases to more than 80%.

Which combination of steps must the SysOps administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

A. Create an IAM role that includes the CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy AWS managed policy. Attach the role to the instances.
B. Create an IAM role that includes the CloudWatchApplicationInsightsReadOnlyAccess AWS managed policy. Attach the role to the instances.
C. Install and start the CloudWatch agent by using AWS Systems Manager or the command line.
D. Install and start the CloudWatch agent by using an IAM role. Attach the CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy AWS managed policy to the role.
E. Configure a CloudWatch alarm to enter ALARM state when the disk_used_percent CloudWatch metric is greater than 80%.
F. Configure a CloudWatch alarm to enter ALARM state when the disk_used CloudWatch metric is greater than 80% or when the disk_free CloudWatch metric is less than 20%.

E instead of D because attaching the CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy directly to an IAM role assigned to the EC2 instances (as in option A) is more straightforward

Option D: This step involves creating an IAM role that includes the CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy AWS managed policy. The CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy provides the necessary permissions for the CloudWatch agent to collect metrics from the instances. Attaching this role to the instances ensures they have the required permissions to send data to CloudWatch. Option C: Installing and starting the CloudWatch agent is crucial for collecting and sending metrics to CloudWatch. This can be done using AWS Systems Manager or the command line. This step ensures that the instances are set up to report disk utilization metrics. Option E: Configuring a CloudWatch alarm is essential for setting up monitoring thresholds and triggering alerts. In this case, the alarm is configured to enter the ALARM state when the disk_used_percent CloudWatch metric exceeds 80%. This means that if the disk utilization on any of the monitored instances goes above 80%, an alert will be triggered.

You don't install software with an IAM role. (D) is incorrect. I tell my programmer friend, "ChatGPT will not teach you AWS!"
