A company has a database monitoring solution that uses Amazon CloudWatch for its Amazon RDS for SQL Server environment. The cause of a recent spike in CPU utilization was not determined using the standard metrics that were collected. The CPU spike caused the application to perform poorly, impacting users. A Database Specialist needs to determine what caused the CPU spike. Which combination of steps should be taken to provide more visibility into the processes and queries running during an increase in CPU load? (Choose two.)
A) Enable Amazon CloudWatch Events and view the incoming T-SQL statements causing the CPU to spike.
B) Enable Enhanced Monitoring metrics to view CPU utilization at the RDS SQL Server DB instance level.
C) Implement a caching layer to help with repeated queries on the RDS SQL Server DB instance.
