Question 100 - DEA-C01 discussion

Report
Export

A financial company recently added more features to its mobile app. The new features required the company to create a new topic in an existing Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) cluster.

A few days after the company added the new topic, Amazon CloudWatch raised an alarm on the RootDiskUsed metric for the MSK cluster.

How should the company address the CloudWatch alarm?

A.

Expand the storage of the MSK broker. Configure the MSK cluster storage to expand automatically.

Answers
A.

Expand the storage of the MSK broker. Configure the MSK cluster storage to expand automatically.

B.

Expand the storage of the Apache ZooKeeper nodes.

Answers
B.

Expand the storage of the Apache ZooKeeper nodes.

C.

Update the MSK broker instance to a larger instance type. Restart the MSK cluster.

Answers
C.

Update the MSK broker instance to a larger instance type. Restart the MSK cluster.

D.

Specify the Target-Volume-in-GiB parameter for the existing topic.

Answers
D.

Specify the Target-Volume-in-GiB parameter for the existing topic.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The RootDiskUsed metric for the MSK cluster indicates that the storage on the broker is reaching its capacity. The best solution is to expand the storage of the MSK broker and enable automatic storage expansion to prevent future alarms.

Expand MSK Broker Storage:

AWS Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) allows you to expand the broker storage to accommodate growing data volumes. Additionally, auto-expansion of storage can be configured to ensure that storage grows automatically as the data increases.

Alternatives Considered:

B (Expand Zookeeper storage): Zookeeper is responsible for managing Kafka metadata and not for storing data, so increasing Zookeeper storage won't resolve the root disk issue.

C (Update instance type): Changing the instance type would increase computational resources but not directly address the storage problem.

D (Target-Volume-in-GiB): This parameter is irrelevant for the existing topic and will not solve the storage issue.
