AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

An operations team monitors an application running on Amazon EC2. A CPUUtilization metric alarm and a DiskReadOps metric alarm are configured. The team wants a single CloudWatch alarm that notifies an Amazon SNS topic only when both existing metric alarms are in the ALARM state at the same time. The solution must prevent duplicate notifications and must not add extra metric evaluation cost. Which approach meets these requirements?

  • Configure an Amazon EventBridge rule that triggers an SNS topic when it receives ALARM state change events from both metric alarms.

  • Enable anomaly detection on each metric alarm and set both to notify the same SNS topic when anomalies are detected.

  • Create a CloudWatch metric math alarm that adds the two metrics together and triggers when the sum exceeds a threshold.

  • Create a CloudWatch composite alarm that uses an AND expression for the two existing metric alarms and disable alarm actions on the individual alarms.
