An organisation wants visibility into managed cloud databases and queues where it has no access to the underlying hosts. Which approach is appropriate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You can't drop an agent on a host you don't control. Use cloud service or serverless agents, because they pull data from the provider's APIs instead.
Full Explanation
Managed and serverless services do not expose an operating system you can deploy an agent onto. Cloud service or serverless agents solve this by collecting metrics through the provider's monitoring APIs, which is the only supported path for those resources.
Installing host agents inside the managed services so standard sensors can run locally is incorrect because you cannot install software inside a service the provider operates; the access simply does not exist.
Granting the monitoring team no cloud permissions and collecting what is visible from outside the account is incorrect because these agents require cloud account permissions to read the provider's monitoring data - withholding them prevents collection entirely.
Tracking the managed services through the provider's billing reports is incorrect because billing data is delayed, aggregated and cost-oriented, giving nothing useful about latency, errors or throughput.
For the exam, match host agents to systems you control and cloud service or serverless agents to managed services you do not.
