Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions

A company needs to run a custom network-analysis software package to inspect traffic as it enters and leaves a VPC. The company deployed the solution with AWS CloudFormation on three Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. All network routes are configured to direct traffic to the EC2 instances.

Whenever the analysis software ceases to work, the Auto Scaling group replaces an instance. The network routes are not updated when an instance is replaced.

Which combination of steps will resolve this problem?

Choose three
Explanation

The Amazon CloudWatch agent's procstat plugin collects metrics for individual application processes, allowing an alarm to detect analysis-software failure. CloudWatch alarms can publish to an Amazon SNS topic, which can invoke a Lambda-driven remediation workflow. The function can remove the failed instance from service so the Auto Scaling group maintains capacity by launching a replacement, and it can update the VPC routes to target that replacement. EC2 status checks monitor instance-level health rather than the custom application process, Systems Manager Agent is not the appropriate process-metrics mechanism, and CloudFormation conditions do not perform runtime route updates for Auto Scaling replacements.
