Which of the following requires a custom CloudWatch metric to monitor?

Question

A. Memory Utilization of an EC2 instance

B. CPU Utilization of an EC2 instance

C. Disk usage the activity of an EC2 instance

D. Data transfer of an EC2 instance

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A (Memory Utilization of an EC2 instance). CloudWatch is a monitoring tool that allows us to monitor our infrastructure and get alerted if anything goes wrong. It provides all the things we need and got the advantage of not needing to run the extra servers and configuring tools. But, the only feature missing is that CloudWatch does not monitor memory utilization of an EC2 instance.
