Question
A CloudOps engineer wants to configure observability of specific metrics for a public website that runs on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). The CloudOps engineer wants to observe latency, traffic, errors, and saturation metrics. The CloudOps engineer wants to define service level objectives (SLOs) and monitor service level indicators (SLIs). The CloudOps engineer also wants to correlate metrics, logs, and traces to support faster issue resolution. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational effort?
Options
- AUse Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals to automatically collect and monitor the specified
- BConfigure AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry and use Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus
- CConfigure Amazon CloudWatch RUM and CloudWatch Synthetics canaries.
- DConfigure Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights.

Explanation
Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals is designed to provide built-in observability for containerized workloads, including Amazon EKS. It automatically collects golden signals such as latency, traffic, errors, and saturation without requiring complex instrumentation. Application Signals supports SLO definition and SLI monitoring and correlates metrics, logs, and traces within CloudWatch. This significantly reduces operational overhead compared to manually configuring OpenTelemetry pipelines, Prometheus, and Grafana. CloudWatch RUM and Synthetics focus on frontend monitoring, not backend service observability. Application Insights does not provide full SLO/SLI support for EKS workloads. Therefore, CloudWatch Application Signals is the correct and least-effort solution.
