Is it possible to integrate SNS with private cloud? If no, ans is A
The question does not specify whether the customer has DirectConnect or VPN connectivity to AWS through which they can communicate with CloudWatch via API. When the alarm state changes, the SNS would then send SMS notification.
Due to the lack of information and the fact that by default, the CloudWatch monitors just the AWS resources, I would definitely go with A.
Answer is B according pass4sure.
B
As long as the private cloud can get to the internet then it can trigger SNS via api call.
