Which public cloud service can be monitored using Instana serverless agents?

AAzure Redis Cache

BAWS Lambda

CAWS Kinesis

DAWS SQS

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

IBM Instana supports direct monitoring of AWS Lambda via serverless-specific agents that bridge trace, metric, and log data between Lambda executions and the Instana backend. The documentation specifies: 'Instana's serverless agents enable tracing and monitoring of AWS Lambda functions---including cold start events, performance, and error metrics---correlating invocation traces with upstream and downstream services.' Lambda is the only public cloud-native serverless runtime natively and fully integrated with Instana's instrumentation and tracing. Azure Redis Cache, AWS Kinesis, and AWS SQS are data stores or message services, not supported for full serverless agent instrumentation (though they may be monitored via associated infrastructure and integration sensors). Instana's Lambda agent is deployed as a Lambda layer or sidecar, delivering first-class observability for serverless architectures.

I'm going with B. Seems like a no-brainer for Instana to support monitoring of AWS Lambda, the king of serverless.

Definitely B. Instana is all about monitoring serverless environments, and AWS Lambda is a prime target for their agents.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about monitoring AWS services. I might go with B too, but I'm not completely confident.

I vaguely recall that Instana focuses on serverless architectures, which makes me lean towards AWS Lambda as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we covered AWS Kinesis in a different context. Could it be C?

I think I remember something about AWS Lambda being a serverless option, so maybe it's B?

Alright, I've got a strategy here. Instana is known for its monitoring capabilities, so it's likely that it can monitor various cloud services. Since the question specifically mentions serverless agents, I'm going to go with option B, AWS Lambda, as that's a popular serverless offering.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know Instana can monitor cloud services, but I'm not familiar with their specific support for serverless agents. I'll have to guess on this one and hope for the best.

Okay, let's see. Instana is a monitoring tool, and it has serverless agents, so it makes sense that it would be able to monitor serverless services like AWS Lambda. I'm leaning towards B, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Instana can monitor various cloud services, but I'm not 100% sure about the specific services they support with their serverless agents. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think this one is pretty straightforward. I'd go with option B, AWS Lambda, since Instana is known for its serverless monitoring capabilities.
