AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
An operations engineer must ensure that when the root EBS volume of any Amazon EC2 instance reaches 90 percent disk utilization, the volume is automatically expanded and the file system is resized. The engineer wants a fully managed, code-free solution that minimizes ongoing maintenance. Which approach will meet these requirements across all instances?
Place the instances in an Auto Scaling group and configure a scaling policy that launches larger instance types with bigger root volumes when the alarm fires.
Trigger an AWS Lambda function from the CloudWatch alarm that calls the ModifyVolume API and runs a shell command to resize the file system.
Create an AWS Config custom rule that detects volumes over 90 percent utilization and invokes Systems Manager Run Command to execute a disk-resize script on the instance.
Create a CloudWatch alarm for 90 percent disk utilization and an EventBridge rule that targets the AWS-ExtendEbsVolume Systems Manager Automation runbook.
Install the CloudWatch agent on all instances to publish disk-utilization metrics and create a CloudWatch alarm that triggers at 90 percent. An EventBridge rule can use that alarm as the event source and invoke the AWS-managed Systems Manager Automation runbook AWS-ExtendEbsVolume. The runbook creates a pre-change snapshot, calls ModifyVolume until the expand operation completes, and then extends the file system, delivering an end-to-end, code-free workflow. A Lambda function adds undifferentiated code maintenance, replacing entire instances disrupts stateful workloads, and a Config rule with Run Command still requires custom disk-resize scripts.
