AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

A company operates workloads in three AWS accounts spread across two Regions. Operations engineers want a single CloudWatch dashboard in the tools account that displays the average CPUUtilization metric for all Amazon EC2 instances, regardless of account or Region. The solution must require the least operational overhead and avoid duplicating metrics. Which approach meets these requirements?

  • Use the CloudWatch agent on every instance to push custom CPU metrics into the tools account and build the dashboard from those custom metrics.

  • Enable CloudWatch cross-account observability and add a widget that references the source accounts and Regions directly from the tools account.

  • Create a CloudWatch metric stream in each source account that delivers metrics to a central Kinesis Data Firehose, then build the dashboard from the streamed data.

  • Set up AWS DMS to replicate the CloudWatch metrics tables from each account to Amazon RDS in the tools account, and have the dashboard query the RDS instance.
