Discuss Amazon SOA-C03 Exam Topic 4 Question 2

A company's CloudOps engineer monitors multiple AWS accounts in an organization and checks each account's AWS Health Dashboard. After adding 10 new accounts, the engineer wants to consolidate health alerts from all accounts.

Which solution meets this requirement with the least operational effort?

AEnable organizational view in AWS Health.

BConfigure the Health Dashboard in each account to forward events to a central AWS CloudTrail log.

CCreate an AWS Lambda function to query the AWS Health API and write all events to an Amazon DynamoDB table.

DUse the AWS Health API to write events to an Amazon DynamoDB table.

Suggested Answer: A

The AWS Cloud Operations and Governance documentation defines that enabling Organizational View in AWS Health allows the management account in AWS Organizations to view and aggregate health events from all member accounts.

This feature provides a single-pane-of-glass view of service health issues, account-specific events, and planned maintenance across the organization --- without requiring additional automation or data pipelines.

Alternative options (B, C, and D) require custom integration and ongoing maintenance. CloudTrail does not natively forward AWS Health events, and custom Lambda or DynamoDB approaches increase complexity.

Therefore, Option A --- enabling the Organizational View feature in AWS Health --- is the most operationally efficient and AWS-recommended solution.

I like option C, but it requires coding. A bit more effort.

Terrilyn 7 months ago

Option B seems too complex. Too many configurations needed.

Tula 7 months ago

C sounds like overkill for just monitoring health alerts.

Elfriede 8 months ago

Wait, can you really consolidate alerts that easily?

Tyisha 8 months ago

Totally agree, less hassle for sure!

Lauran 8 months ago

A) Enable organizational view in AWS Health is the easiest way.

Heike 8 months ago

Option C sounds like a lot of work for something AWS Health can already do. I'd stick with Option A.

Organizational view in AWS Health? That's the equivalent of a one-click solution. Why even consider the other options?

Tu 9 months ago

Option B? Really? Forwarding events to CloudTrail? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Phuong 9 months ago

Option D is just redundant. If we're going to use DynamoDB, might as well use the Lambda function in Option C.

Alton 9 months ago

Option C looks like overkill. Why write to DynamoDB when AWS Health already provides the consolidated view?

Norah 9 months ago

I agree, Option A is the way to go. Consolidating health alerts across multiple accounts should be a breeze with the organizational view.

Erin 9 months ago

Option A seems the most straightforward. Why complicate things when AWS Health already has an organizational view?

I’m a bit confused about the Lambda function option. It seems like a lot of work compared to just enabling the organizational view.

Earnestine 10 months ago

I practiced a similar question where we had to centralize monitoring, and I feel like using the AWS Health API directly might be more complex than just enabling the organizational view.

Antione 10 months ago

Agreed! Enabling the organizational view saves time.

Lashaunda 10 months ago

I think option A is the best choice. It simplifies monitoring.

Tegan 11 months ago

I’m not so sure about that, B seems like a solid option too.

Benedict 11 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about using CloudTrail for logging events. Would that really be the easiest way to manage health alerts?

Alyce 11 months ago

I think enabling the organizational view in AWS Health makes the most sense since it should consolidate alerts automatically.

Harrison 11 months ago

I'm leaning towards option A as well. It seems like the most straightforward solution that meets the requirement of consolidating health alerts from all accounts with the least operational effort.

Leigha 12 months ago

Option B sounds like a lot of work - having to configure the Health Dashboard in each individual account and set up forwarding to a central CloudTrail log. That seems like it would take a lot of time and effort.

Elena 12 months ago

I'm a bit confused about the difference between options C and D. Both involve using the AWS Health API to write events to DynamoDB, but C mentions creating a Lambda function. Not sure if that adds any extra complexity.

Evangelina 12 months ago

I think option A is the easiest way to go. Enabling the organizational view in AWS Health should let me see all the health alerts in one place without having to set up anything else.
