AWS DevOps Engineer Professional DOP-C01 – Question055

A Developer is maintaining a fleet of 50 Amazon EC2 Linux servers. The servers are part of an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group, and also use Elastic Load Balancing for load balancing. Occasionally, some application servers are being terminated after failing ELB HTTP health checks. The Developer would like to perform a root cause analysis on the issue, but before being able to access application logs, the server is terminated. How can log collection be automated?

A.
Use Auto Scaling lifecycle hooks to put instances in a Pending:Waitstate. Create an Amazon CloudWatch Alarm for EC2 Instance Terminate Successfuland trigger an AWS Lambda function that executes an SSM Run Command script to collect logs, push them to Amazon S3, and complete the lifecycle action once logs are collected.
B. Use Auto Scaling lifecycle hooks to put instances in a Terminating:Waitstate. Create a Config rule for EC2 Instance-terminate Lifecycle Actionand trigger a step function that executes a script to collect logs, push them to Amazon S3, and complete the lifecycle action once logs are collected.
C. Use Auto Scaling lifecycle hooks to put instances in a Terminating:Waitstate. Create an Amazon CloudWatch subscription filter for EC2 Instance Terminate Successfuland trigger a CloudWatch agent that executes a script to called logs, push them to Amazon S3, and complete the lifecycle action once logs are collected.
D. Use Auto Scaling lifecycle hooks to put instances in a Terminating:Waitstate. Create an Amazon CloudWatch Events rule for EC2 Instance-terminate Lifecycle Actionand trigger an AWS Lambda function that executes a SSM Run Command script to collect logs, push them to Amazon S3, and complete the lifecycle action once logs are collected.

Correct Answer: B
