Which other resource deployment and configuration automation options are offered by AWS, in addition to Amazon CloudWatch?

The correct choice highlights Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Run Command and AWS OpsWorks as additional options for resource deployment and configuration automation within AWS.

Amazon EC2 Run Command allows you to automate the management of your EC2 instances, enabling you to execute scripts or commands remotely on your instances. This automation helps streamline operations for tasks such as software installations, updates, or configuration changes without needing to log into the instances individually.

AWS OpsWorks, on the other hand, is a configuration management service that provides managed instances of Chef and Puppet. With OpsWorks, you can automate server configurations, deploy applications, and manage the overall lifecycle of your applications and infrastructure in a way that integrates with the rest of your AWS services.

Combining these two services provides robust options for developing workflows and managing EC2 instances based on defined configurations, which is essential for maintaining consistency and reducing manual errors in deployments.

The other choices do not primarily focus on resource deployment and configuration automation. For instance, AWS Config is mainly used for resource inventory and compliance, while AWS Lambda is designed for event-driven serverless computing rather than deployment automation. Similarly, AWS Step Functions are aimed at coordinating distributed applications, and AWS Budgets helps with cost management rather than deployment. AWS Glue
