A company is optimizing its AWS costs. Most of the company’s AWS spend is for Amazon EC2. When the company analyzes its EC2 usage metrics in Amazon CloudWatch, the company observes that most of its EC2 instances are in an idle state.
The company considers an instance idle if it has a maximum CPU utilization of less than 2% in the previous 24 hours. The company evaluates metrics for instances based on 1-hour intervals. The company decides to configure a CloudWatch alarm for each EC2 instance in the account. The company wants the alarm to activate when an instance is idle.
How should the company configure the CloudWatch alarm?
A DevOps engineer needs to configure a blue green deployment for an existing three-tier application. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances and uses an Amazon RDS database The EC2 instances run behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and are in an Auto Scaling group.
The DevOps engineer has created a launch template and an Auto Scaling group for the blue environment. The DevOps engineer also has created a launch template and an Auto Scaling group for the green environment. Each Auto Scaling group deploys to a matching blue or green target group. The target group also specifies which software blue or green gets loaded on the EC2 instances. The ALB can be configured to send traffic to the blue environments target group or the green environments target group. An Amazon Route 53 record for www example com points to the ALB.
The deployment must move traffic all at once between the software on the blue environment ' s EC2 instances to the newly deployed software on the green environments EC2 instances
What should the DevOps engineer do to meet these requirements?
A development team uses AWS CodeCommit for version control for applications. The development team uses AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild. and AWS CodeDeploy for CI/CD infrastructure. In CodeCommit, the development team recently merged pull requests that did not pass long-running tests in the code base. The development team needed to perform rollbacks to branches in the codebase, resulting in lost time and wasted effort.
A DevOps engineer must automate testing of pull requests in CodeCommit to ensure that reviewers more easily see the results of automated tests as part of the pull request review.
