Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 407 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02
Question #: 407
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A company has AWS accounts that are in an organization in AWS Organizations. The company wants to track Amazon EC2 usage as a metric. The company’s architecture team must receive a daily alert if the EC2 usage is more than 10% higher the average EC2 usage from the last 30 days.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Configure AWS Budgets in the organization's management account. Specify a usage type of EC2 running hours. Specify a daily period. Set the budget amount to be 10% more than the reported average usage for the last 30 days from AWS Cost Explorer. Configure an alert to notify the architecture team if the usage threshold is met
  • B. Configure AWS Cost Anomaly Detection in the organization's management account. Configure a monitor type of AWS Service. Apply a filter of Amazon EC2. Configure an alert subscription to notify the architecture team if the usage is 10% more than the average usage for the last 30 days.
  • C. Enable AWS Trusted Advisor in the organization's management account. Configure a cost optimization advisory alert to notify the architecture team if the EC2 usage is 10% more than the reported average usage for the last 30 days.
  • D. Configure Amazon Detective in the organization's management account. Configure an EC2 usage anomaly alert to notify the architecture team if Detective identifies a usage anomaly of more than 10%.

Answer A. C cannot be correct because Cost Anomaly detection is for a surprise cost exceeds. A is a perfect use case for this scenario.

"A" describe perfectly the process to create this kind of control. Besides Cost Anomaly is very focused on "Cost", while the question ask to control the "usage" (ex:hours), not exactly $ cost. I suggest doing a demo. "A" for sure

Selected Answer: B
AWS Cost Anomaly Detection is designed to automatically track usage trends and detect anomalies in EC2 usage patterns. You can set up a monitoring rule to compare daily EC2 usage against a 30-day average. If usage exceeds 10% over the historical average, it will trigger an alert. This solution is automated, scalable, and requires minimal operational overhead.

AWS Budgets can be used to set custom budget based on your expected usage and notify you when a threshold is exceeded. AWS Cost Anomaly Detection uses advanced machine learning (ML) technologies to identify anomalous spend and root causes.

Selected Answer: A
For those who think the correct answer is B: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/getting-started-ad.html "For Threshold, enter a number to configure the anomalies that you want to generate alerts for. There are two types of thresholds: absolute and percentage. Absolute thresholds trigger alerts when an anomaly's total COST impact exceeds your chosen threshold. Percentage thresholds trigger alerts when an anomaly's total impact percentage exceeds your chosen threshold. Total impact percentage is the percentage difference between the total expected SPEND and total actual SPEND."" AWS COST Anomaly Detection primarily focuses on COST anomalies rather than specific usage metrics.

Selected Answer: B
Explanation: AWS Cost Anomaly Detection: This service can monitor your AWS usage and costs, identifying anomalies and deviations from normal usage patterns. By setting up a monitor for Amazon EC2 usage, you can detect if the usage is significantly higher than usual, such as exceeding 10% of the average usage over the past 30 days. Monitor Type: Choosing "AWS Service" as the monitor type allows you to focus specifically on EC2 usage. Alert Subscription: You can configure alerts to notify the architecture team when the detected usage anomaly exceeds the threshold, such as a 10% increase over the historical average.

It has to be A. I have tried to do it in AWS Budget Console. Here's a step by step breakdown of what I have done: Step 1: Click on the "Create budget" button and choose the "Usage budget" type Step 2: Set the Usage type groups as `EC2 Running hours`, Set budget amount's baseline timerange as `Last 30 days` with a `daily` period Step 3: Configure alerts with 110% of budgeted amount

I can not reproduce your steps. For usage type group, there are 3 types: fixed/planned/auto-adjusted. both of them are absolute number and don't support percentage setting.

When setting the time range, even if the label says `Last 30 days`, but if you hover on it, it expands and says `last-30 day average` So really now AWS Budget can help us collect daily average using a 30-day sliding window. You can use this as baseline, and use 110% of baseline value to trigger the alert

A, for sure. Service Monitor tracks spend across all deployed services, but not for a specific service (like ec2)

It should be D as AWS Cost Anomaly Detection is a service that monitors your cost and usage data to detect anomalies based on machine learning models. It can identify unusual spending patterns and notify you when anomalies are detected based on historical usage patterns

Option A - Maybe I am the problem here, I don't why people are selecting option "B", when the the first line in AWS Cost Management documentation Under AWS Budget states - "You can use AWS Budgets to track and take action on your AWS costs and usage. You can use AWS Budgets to monitor your aggregate utilization and coverage metrics for your Reserved Instances (RIs) or Savings Plans." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/budgets-managing-costs.html AWS Blog - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/manage-cost-overruns-part-1/

It's B. Cost Anomaly detection _can_ do this kind of thing. AWS Budgets is for overall costs and is a less sharp tool here.

steps to set up an AWS Budget to track EC2 usage and receive an alert if it's more than 10% higher than the average usage from the last 30 days: Go to the AWS Management Console |Open the "Budgets" service |Create a New Budget:|Choose "Cost budget" as the budget type.|Choose the time period for the budget (e.g., Monthly).|Set the start and end dates for the budget. Configure Cost and Usage Details:|Choose the "Cost and usage" option.|Specify the "Service" as "Amazon EC2" to focus on EC2 costs.|Choose the "Usage type" as "Usage Quantity."|Set Budgeted Amount:|Set the budgeted amount to be 110% of the average EC2 usage from the last 30 days. Configure Alerts:|Enable the alert threshold.|Set the alert threshold to be "Actual > Forecasted" and "More than 0%" to be alerted when the actual usage exceeds the forecast.

In AWS Budget Console: Usage budget Monitor your usage of one or more specified usage types or usage type groups and receive alerts when your user-defined thresholds are met. Using usage budgets, the budgeted amount represents your expected usage. For example, you can use a usage budget to monitor the usage of certain services such as Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3.

Selected Answer: B
B is the answer, AWS Cost Anomaly Detection is specifically designed to monitor AWS service usage, identify anomalies based on historical patterns, and can be configured to send alerts when the usage exceeds a certain threshold compared to the average of the last 30 days. This aligns well with the requirement to receive daily alerts if EC2 usage is more than 10% higher than the average usage from the past 30 days.
