Amazon SAP-C02 Exam - Topic 10 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAP-C02 exam

Question #: 45
Topic #: 10

A company is running a large containerized workload in the AWS Cloud. The workload consists of approximately 100 different services. The company uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to orchestrate the workload.

Recently, the company's development team started using AWS Fargate instead of Amazon EC2 instances in the ECS cluster. In the past, the workload has come close to running the maximum number of EC2 instances that are available in the account.

The company is worried that the workload could reach the maximum number of ECS tasks that are allowed. A solutions architect must implement a solution that will notify the development team when Fargate reaches 80% of the maximum number of tasks.

What should the solutions architect do to meet this requirement?

AUse Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the Sample Count statistic for each service in the ECS cluster. Set an alarm for when the math expression sample count/SERVICE_QUOTA(service)'100 is greater than 80. Notify the development team by using Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

BUse Amazon CloudWatch to monitor service quotas that are published under the AWS/Usage metric namespace. Set an alarm for when the math expression metric/SERVICE_QUOTA(metric)*100 is greater than 80. Notify the development team by using Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

CCreate an AWS Lambda function to poll detailed metrics from the ECS cluster. When the number of running Fargate tasks is greater than 80, invoke Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to notify the development team.

DCreate an AWS Config rule to evaluate whether the Fargate SERVICE_OUOTA is greater than 80. Use Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to notify the development team when the AWS Config rule is not compliant.

Wait, can Fargate really handle that many tasks? Sounds risky!

I vaguely recall something about AWS Config rules, but I don't think that's the best way to handle task notifications. It seems more suited for compliance checks.

I feel like using a Lambda function to poll metrics could be overkill. We should probably stick with CloudWatch alarms for simplicity, right?

I think option B sounds familiar because it mentions monitoring service quotas, which we practiced in a similar question. That might be the right approach.

I remember we discussed using CloudWatch for monitoring, but I'm not sure if it's the Sample Count or the service quotas we should focus on for Fargate tasks.

Creating a custom Lambda function to poll the metrics seems a bit overkill for this use case. I'd prefer to use the native CloudWatch monitoring capabilities if possible.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to monitor the Fargate task usage against the service quota, and set an alarm to notify the team when it reaches 80%. Option B looks like the best approach for that.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between monitoring the Sample Count statistic and the service quota metric. I'll need to read through the options carefully to understand the nuances.

Ha! Monitoring the 'Sample Count' statistic? That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? I'm going with option B, it just seems the most logical.
