Full set: 449 questionsCorrect Answer:
A
Step 1: Reacting to RDS Storage Autoscaling Events Using Amazon EventBridge
Amazon RDS emits events when storage autoscaling occurs. To visualize these events in a
CloudWatch dashboard, you can create an EventBridge rule that listens for these specific autoscaling
events.
Action: Create an EventBridge rule that reacts to RDS storage autoscaling events from the RDS event
stream.
Why: EventBridge allows you to listen to RDS events and route them to specific AWS services for
processing.
Step 2: Creating a Custom CloudWatch Metric via Lambda
Once the EventBridge rule detects a storage autoscaling event, you can use a Lambda function to
publish a custom metric to CloudWatch. This metric can then be visualized in a CloudWatch
dashboard.
Action: Use a Lambda function to publish custom metrics to CloudWatch based on the RDS storage
autoscaling events.
Why: Custom metrics allow you to track specific events like autoscaling and visualize them easily on a
CloudWatch dashboard.
Reference: AWS documentation on Publishing Custom Metrics to CloudWatch.
This corresponds to Option A: Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that reacts to RDS storage
autoscaling events from RDS events. Create an AWS Lambda function that publishes a CloudWatch
custom metric. Configure the EventBridge rule to invoke the Lambda function. Visualize the custom
metric by using the CloudWatch dashboard.
