Explanation

Amazon CloudWatch Container Insightsis designed for monitoring containerized environments like EKS. It provides native support for collecting and visualizing metrics and logs in a centralized location through CloudWatch dashboards, offering the most operationally efficient solution. Option A: Using the CloudWatch agent provides basic metrics but lacks the specific insights required for containerized applications. Option B: Kinesis Data Streams and Firehose add unnecessary complexity for this use case. Option C: CloudTrail is for auditing API activity and is not designed for application metrics and log
