A user has created a launch configuration for Auto Scaling where CloudWatch detailed monitoring is disabled. The user wants to now enable detailed monitoring.
How can the user achieve this?

  • A. Update the Launch config with CLI to set InstanceMonitoringDisabled = false
  • B. The user should change the Auto Scaling group from the AWS console to enable detailed monitoring
  • C. Create a new Launch Config with detail monitoring enabled and update the Auto Scaling group
  • D. Update the Launch config with CLI to set InstanceMonitoring.Enabled = true
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
CloudWatch is used to monitor AWS as well as the custom services. To enable detailed instance monitoring for a new Auto Scaling group, the user does not need to take any extra steps. When the user creates the Auto Scaling launch config as the first step for creating an Auto Scaling group, each launch configuration contains a flag named InstanceMonitoring.Enabled. The default value of this flag is true. When the user has created a launch configuration with
InstanceMonitoring.Enabled = false it will involve multiple steps to enable detail monitoring. The steps are:
✑ Create a new Launch config with detailed monitoring enabled
✑ Update the Auto Scaling group with a new launch config
✑ Enable detail monitoring on each EC2 instance

You cannot change a Launch Config (LC), so you will need to create a new one.

As per my understanding Launch Config can be updated; Launch template cannot be.

C. New launch config - change the type of monitoring enabled on new EC2 instances, update the launch template or update the Auto Scaling group to use a new launch configuration. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/enable-as-instance-metrics.html
