Exam AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate topic 1 question 416 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate
Question #: 416
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate Questions]

A media company hosts a public news and video portal on AWS. The portal uses an Amazon DynamoDB table with provisioned capacity to maintain an index of video files that are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. During a recent event, millions of visitors came to the portal for news. This increase in traffic caused read requests to be throttled in the DynamoDB table. Videos could not be displayed in the portal.

The company's operations team manually increased the provisioned capacity on a temporary basis to meet the demand. The company wants the operations team to receive an alert before the table is throttled in the future. The company has created an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic and has subscribed the operations team's email address to the SNS topic.

What should the company do next to meet these requirements?

  • A. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that uses the ConsumedReadCapacityUnits metric. Set the alarm threshold to a value that is close to the DynamoDB table's provisioned capacity. Configure the alarm to publish notifications to the SNS topic.
  • B. Turn on auto scaling on the DynamoDB table. Configure an Amazon EventBridge rule to publish notifications to the SNS topic during scaling events.
  • C. Turn on Amazon CloudWatch Logs for the DynamoDB table. Create an Amazon CloudWatch metric filter to pattern match the THROTTLING_EXCEPTION status code from DynamoDB. Create a CloudWatch alarm for the metric. Select the SNS topic for notifications.
  • D. Configure the application to store logs in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Create an Amazon CloudWatch metric filter to pattern match the THROTTLING_EXCEPTION status code from DynamoDB. Create a CloudWatch alarm for the metric. Select the SNS topic for notifications.

B is not the choice. because they increased it already. "The company's operations team manually increased the provisioned capacity on a temporary basis to meet the demand" A is correct one. "This increase in traffic caused read requests to be throttled in the DynamoDB table." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/creating-alarms.html
