A company runs several workloads on AWS. The company identifies five AWS Trusted Advisor service quota metrics to monitor in a specific AWS Region. The company wants to receive email notifications each time resource usage exceeds 60% of one of the service quotas.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
Options
Answer AExplanation
Comprehensive Explanation (250--350 words):
AWS Trusted Advisor publishes service quota metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. These metrics can be monitored using CloudWatch alarms, which support threshold-based alerting. By creating a CloudWatch alarm for each service quota metric, the CloudOps engineer can trigger alerts when usage exceeds 60%.
Amazon SNS is the AWS-native service for email notifications. CloudWatch alarms integrate directly with SNS, making this the most straightforward solution. SNS supports email subscriptions without additional infrastructure.
Options B and C incorrectly use SQS for email notifications, which requires additional processing and does not natively send emails. Option D relies on the AWS Health Dashboard, which does not support configurable threshold-based alerts for service quotas.
Therefore, CloudWatch alarms combined with SNS provide the correct and most efficient solution.

A CloudOps engineer wants to share a copy of a production database with a migration account. The production database is hosted on an Amazon RDS DB instance and is encrypted at rest with an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key that has an alias of production-rds-key.
What must the CloudOps engineer do to meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative overhead?
Options
Answer AExplanation
Comprehensive Explanation (250--350 words):
For encrypted RDS snapshots, cross-account sharing requires both sharing the snapshot and granting access to the KMS key used to encrypt it. By updating the KMS key policy to allow the migration account access, the encrypted snapshot can be restored in the migration account.
Option A uses native RDS snapshot sharing and minimal configuration changes, making it the least administrative overhead approach.
Options B, C, and D introduce unnecessary complexity, higher operational cost, or unsupported workflows.
