Q: 4
A cloud administrator needs to collect process-level, memory-usage tracking for the virtual machines
that are part of an autoscaling group. Which of the following is the best way to
accomplish the goal by using cloud-native monitoring services?
Options

B. not D. D only shows total VM memory, not process-level which the question asks for.
Option B
B or D? Had something like this in a mock, picked B for per-process detail.
D
D , because enabling memory monitoring in the VM config seems like it should let you track usage without extra agents. But now I'm not sure if that gets down to process-level details. Anyone else tripped up by this wording?
B tbh, since cloud-native memory monitoring (D) usually just gives you the total VM memory, not process-level info. Only deploying the agent gets you that detailed breakdown. I remember AWS and Azure both needing agents for this, correct me if that's changed.
C or D here. Scripts can grab process-level memory stats and run on schedule, which I've seen in practice labs. Official guide mentions agent install more, but for quick data collection without extra software, a script could work too. Anyone see C used in practice tests?
B , the monitoring agent is really the only cloud-native way to get actual process-level and memory usage. Official guides and labs both mention deploying these agents for deep OS stats. Open to other thoughts but that's what I've seen most in practice tests.
You'd need B for process-level details, since the built-in memory metrics (like in D) usually only show you the whole VM. The cloud-native monitoring agent gets inside the OS and grabs that per-process and memory info. Pretty sure that's how AWS and Azure do it, too. Let me know if I'm missing something from recent updates.
Looks like B is the way to go here. Native memory monitoring (like D) gives you overall usage but won't break it down by process, which is what the question wants. You need the agent installed inside the VM to get process-level stats-it's a classic trap to pick D just because it sounds easy. Pretty sure that's how AWS and Azure do it too, correct me if I'm wrong.
