Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The AWS Data Provider for SAP requires the ability to access metrics data in order to return metrics to the SAP application. The IAM policy statement with Sid 'AWSDataProvider1' currently does not have the necessary permissions to access metrics data. The SAP solutions architect should add the cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics action to the policy statement with Sid 'AWSDataProvider1' to grant the necessary permissions for the Data Provider to access metrics data.

The other actions such as 'EC2:DescribeInstances' and 'EC2:DescribeVolumes' are not related to CloudWatch metrics and only provide the ability to describe EC2 instances and volumes. Actions such as 's3:GetObject' are not related to CloudWatch metrics, it's used to get an object from an S3 bucket. Actions such as 'cloudwatch:ListMetrics' and 'cloudwatch:DescribeAlarmsForMetric' would not be necessary for the AWS Data Provider for SAP to return metrics to the SAP application and it's not related to the problem described.

I remember we discussed the importance of the right permissions for CloudWatch metrics in our study group. I think it might be related to the ListMetrics action.
