Challenge

Configure Simple Notification Service (SNS) Topic and Subscriptions

This challenge will take you through the steps of creating one SNS topic and two subscriptions of that topic for email and SMS, respectively. The SNS topic will be used in subsequent challenges enabling the alarms to publish notifications.

Challenge

Configure Alarm for EFS IO Utilization Percent Exceeding Threshold

You will configure an alarm that will signal when the percentage of IO to an EFS volume exceeds 70%. This alarm will publish notifications to a topic in SNS when the average utilization exceeds 70%, and when the alarm clears.

Challenge

Configure Alarm for EFS Total IO Exceeding Threshold

You will configure an alarm that will signal when the total IO bytes to an EFS volume exceeds 3,500,000,000 bytes/minute. This alarm will publish notifications to a topic in SNS when the threshold is exceeded, and when the alarm clears.

Challenge

Configure CloudWatch Dashboard for EFS

You will configure a Dashboard to assist in the monitoring of EFS performance. The Dashboard will include graphs and alarm state for each of the alarms.

Challenge

Monitor EFS Utilization from EFS Console

You will navigate to the monitoring page for the EFS volume to review the performance of the EFS.
