A distributed application written in Node.js is being deployed using AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
There is an additional requirement to have AWS X-Ray integration.
Which of the following options can be used to integrate AWS X-Ray daemon with AWS Elastic Beanstalk in this scenario?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.Correct Answer - C.
You can use the X-Ray SDK with the following Elastic Beanstalk platforms:
Go - version 2.9.1 and later.
Java 8 - version 2.3.0 and later.
Java 8 with Tomcat 8 - version 2.4.0 and later.
Node.js - version 3.2.0 and later.
Windows Server - all platform versions released on or after December 18th, 2016
Python - version 2.5.0 and later.
On supported platforms, you can use a configuration option to run the X-Ray daemon on the instances in your environment.
You can enable the daemon in the Elastic Beanstalk console or by using a configuration file.
If the X-Ray daemon isn't available for your platform configuration, you can download it from Amazon S3 and run it with a configuration file.
Option A is incorrect as this process is used for non-supported Platforms.
AWS X-Ray Daemon can be installed with AWS Elastic Beanstalk by downloading from the Amazon S3 bucket.
Option B is incorrect as AWS X-Ray agents are used for EC2/ECS instances & not with AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
Option C is correct as the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console can be used to integrate AWS X-Ray for supported platforms.
Option D is incorrect as there is no need to install anything on EC2
Elastic Beanstalk can be integrated with AWS X-Ray from the console.
For more information on AWS X-Ray, refer to the following URLs-
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-daemon-configuration.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-daemon-beanstalk.htmlTo integrate AWS X-Ray with Elastic Beanstalk, you can use the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console or download and run the AWS X-Ray daemon on EC2 instances.
Option A: Download AWS X-Ray daemon from Amazon S3 & run with configuration file. This option is possible but requires additional configuration and management. The AWS X-Ray daemon needs to be downloaded from Amazon S3 and configured to run with the Node.js application. This option is suitable for advanced users who prefer more control over the integration process.
Option B: Install AWS X-Ray agent in AWS Elastic Beanstalk. This option is not possible as there is no AWS X-Ray agent available to be installed in Elastic Beanstalk. The agent is used to instrument AWS resources such as AWS Lambda functions, AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS), and Amazon EC2 instances. Elastic Beanstalk is already managed and deployed by AWS, and it provides built-in integration with AWS X-Ray.
Option C: Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk console to enable AWS X-Ray integration. This option is the simplest and recommended way to integrate AWS X-Ray with Elastic Beanstalk. You can enable X-Ray integration in the Elastic Beanstalk console with just a few clicks. Once enabled, Elastic Beanstalk automatically instruments the application and sends tracing data to AWS X-Ray. This option is suitable for users who prefer a simple and easy integration process.
Option D: Install AWS X-Ray daemon on EC2 and run the configuration file. This option is possible but requires additional configuration and management. The AWS X-Ray daemon needs to be installed on EC2 instances and configured to run with the Node.js application. This option is suitable for advanced users who prefer more control over the integration process.
In summary, the best option to integrate AWS X-Ray with Elastic Beanstalk in this scenario is to use the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console to enable AWS X-Ray integration.
