Your team uses CloudWatch Event rules to manage system events and trigger different targets to process the events. Your manager asks you to check if the event rules can be re-configured through Amazon EventBridge since EventBridge uses the same CloudWatch Events API. For which of the following options, can you ONLY use Amazon EventBridge instead of CloudWatch Event? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

A.Create a custom Event Bus for a third-party service provider.
B.Configure a custom event pattern in the event rule.
C.Invoke the targets on a schedule for an event rule.
D.Archive certain events and replay them when needed.
E.Add an SSM Run Command in the target of an event rule.

Correct Answers: A and D
Option A is CORRECT because this is a feature of Amazon EventBridge where you can create custom event buses.
Option B is incorrect because you can configure a custom event pattern in both EventBridge and CloudWatch Event.
Option C is incorrect because you can trigger a CloudWatch Event with a schedule as follows:
Option D is CORRECT because you can store events in an archive in EventBridge and then easily replay them later. CloudWatch Event does not have this function.
Option E is incorrect because CloudWatch Event supports different types of targets including “SSM Run Command”.
