AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

Your company runs Linux and Windows EC2 instances spread across three AWS accounts. Operations must collect the instances' memory utilization and a set of custom application log files in Amazon CloudWatch without manually copying configuration files to every server. The team also wants to be able to update the agent configuration from a central location. Which approach satisfies these requirements with the least operational overhead?

  • Manually copy the CloudWatch agent configuration file into /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent on each instance during user data, then start the agent with the local file path.

  • Use Systems Manager Run Command with the AmazonCloudWatch-ManageAgent document to install the unified CloudWatch agent on every instance and have each agent load its JSON configuration from an SSM Parameter Store key that the operations team manages.

  • Enable AWS Config across all accounts to stream operating-system metrics, including memory, into CloudWatch and configure delivery of log files through the same service.

  • Install the CloudWatch Logs agent on Linux servers and the unified CloudWatch agent on Windows servers; configure memory metrics later with CloudWatch Metrics Insights queries.
