Question
A company's DevOps engineer uses AWS Systems Manager to perform maintenance tasks during maintenance windows. The company has a few Amazon EC2 instances that require a restart after notifications from AWS Health. The DevOps engineer needs to implement an automated solution to remediate these notifications. The DevOps engineer creates an Amazon EventBridge rule.
How should the DevOps engineer configure the EventBridge rule to meet these requirements?
- A. Configure an event source of AWS Health, a service of EC2. and an event type that indicates instance maintenance. Target a Systems Manager document to restart the EC2 instance. Correct
- B. Configure an event source of Systems Manager and an event type that indicates a maintenance window. Target a Systems Manager document to restart the EC2 instance.
- C. Configure an event source of AWS Health, a service of EC2, and an event type that indicates instance maintenance. Target a newly created AWS Lambda function that registers an automation task to restart the EC2 instance during a maintenance window.
- D. Configure an event source of EC2 and an event type that indicates instance maintenance. Target a newly created AWS Lambda function that registers an automation task to restart the EC2 instance during a maintenance window.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because it correctly specifies configuring an EventBridge rule with an event source of AWS Health, targeting EC2 instances and an event type indicating instance maintenance. This setup allows for triggering a Systems Manager document to automatically restart the affected EC2 instances in response to health notifications.
