Export

A company is using AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to manage public SSL/TLS certificates. A SysOps administrator needs to send an email notification when a certificate has less than 14 days until expiration.

Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST operational overhead?

A.
Create an Amazon CloudWatch custom metric to monitor certificate expiration for all ACM certificates. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that has an event source of a ws. cloud watch Configure the rule to send an event to a target Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic if the DaysToExpiry metric is less than 14. Subscribe the appropriate email addresses to the SNS topic.

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

To send an email notification when an ACM certificate has less than 14 days until expiration, the most operationally efficient solution is to create an Amazon EventBridge rule that directly monitors AWS ACM for certificate expiry details. EventBridge can capture aws.acm events related to certificate expiration and evaluate the DaysToExpiry metric directly. Configure the rule to send notifications to an Amazon SNS topic when DaysToExpiry is less than 14, and subscribe the necessary email addresses to this SNS topic. This approach avoids the need for custom metrics or manual monitoring, providing a streamlined and automatic notification system. Option B is the correct answer as it leverages native integration between ACM, EventBridge, and SNS for minimal operational overhead. More details on EventBridge rules can be found in AWS documentation EventBridge Rules.
