Discuss Amazon PAS-C01 Exam Topic 1 Question 70

A company has deployed SAP workloads on AWS The AWS Data Provider for SAP is installed on the Amazon EC2 instance where the SAP application is running An SAP solutions architect has attached an IAM role to the EC2 instance with the following policy.

The AWS Data Provider for SAP is not returning any metrics to the SAP application. Which change should the SAP solutions architect make to the 1AM permissions to resolve this issued.

AAdd the cloudwatch ListMetrics action to the policy statement with Sid AWSDataProvider1.

BAdd the cloudwatch GetMetricStatrstics action to the policy statement with Sid AWSDataProvider1

CAdd the cloudwatch GetMetricStream action (o the policy statement with Sid AWSDataProvider

DAdd the cloudwatch DescribeAlarmsForMetric action to the policy statement with Sid AWSDataProvider

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.

Going with B since the provider needs metrics data access, and the tricky part is that only metric data actions are needed.

True, but we need to start with the basics first. ListMetrics is key!

Elvera 2 months ago

But what about option C? GetMetricStream could be useful too.

Pamella 2 months ago

I agree with Leoma. Without ListMetrics, how can we see anything?

Deeanna 2 months ago

I’m leaning towards B. GetMetricStatistics might give more insights.

Leoma 3 months ago

I feel like option A is the best choice. ListMetrics seems crucial.

Shaun 3 months ago

This question is tricky! I think it’s about permissions.

Jaime 3 months ago

I’m leaning towards D. Describing alarms might be the key here.

Gary 3 months ago

I’d say B could work too, but A feels more straightforward.

Whitley 3 months ago

Wait, can we really just add ListMetrics? What if there’s more to it?

Eloisa 3 months ago

Definitely agree with A! It’s all about listing those metrics first.

Leigha 4 months ago

I think option A is the way to go. ListMetrics seems essential.

Felix 4 months ago

Surprised that metrics aren't showing up, thought it would be straightforward!

Jestine 4 months ago

I believe option D could also be relevant for alarms.

Raelene 4 months ago

Wait, are we sure A is correct? What about option B?

Elden 6 months ago

Definitely agree with A, that makes the most sense!

Laine 6 months ago

I think option A is the right choice for listing metrics.

I remember the AWS Data Provider needing proper permissions, but I'm confused between ListMetrics and GetMetricStatistics. They both seem like they could work for retrieving metrics.

Nana 7 months ago

I think we had a practice question about IAM roles and CloudWatch, but I can't recall if DescribeAlarmsForMetric was involved. It feels like it might be too specific for this issue.

Allene 7 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like GetMetricStatistics could be the right choice since it retrieves metric data. It seems relevant to what the application needs.

Goldie 7 months ago

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.
