Question

A company runs several applications in the same AWS account. The applications send logs to Amazon CloudWatch. A data analytics team needs to collect performance metrics and custom metrics from the applications. The analytics team needs to transform the metrics data before storing the data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The analytics team must automatically collect any new metrics that are added to the CloudWatch namespace. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Explanation

CloudWatch metric stream: Setting up a metric stream for all metrics ensures that any new metrics added to the CloudWatch namespace are automatically included, meeting the requirement to capture new metrics without additional configuration. Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose: The metric stream can be configured to deliver data to a Firehose delivery stream, which allows transformation of the data using an AWS Lambda function before sending it to the S3 bucket. Lambda for data transformation: This setup allows the analytics team to transform the data as needed before it reaches S3, maintaining flexibility and scalability with minimal operational
