The developer wants to view and track statistics, such as the average request latency and the maximum request latency, across the fleet. The developer wants to receive immediate notification if the average response time exceeds a threshold. Which solution will meet these requirements? A) Configure a cron job on each EC2 instance to measure the response time and update a log file stored in an Amazon S3 bucket every minute. Use an Amazon S3 event notification to invoke an AWS Lambda function that reads the log file and writes new entries to an Amazon OpenSearch Service cluster. Visualize the results in OpenSearch Dashboards. Configure OpenSearch Service to send an alert to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when the response time exceeds the threshold. B) Configure the application to write the response times to the system log. Install and configure the Amazon Inspector agent on the EC2 instances to continually read the logs and send the response times to Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events). View the metrics graphs in the EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) console. Configure an EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) custom rule to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when the average of the response time metric exceeds the threshold. C) Configure the application to write the response times to a log file. Install and configure the Amazon CloudWatch agent on the EC2 instances to stream the application log to CloudWatch Logs. Create a metric filter of the response time from the log. View the metrics graphs in the CloudWatch console. Create a CloudWatch alarm to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when the average of the response time metric exceeds the threshold. D) Install and configure AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) on the EC2 instances to monitor the response time and send the response time to Amazon CloudWatch as a custom metric. View the metrics graphs in Amazon QuickSight. Create a CloudWatch alarm to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when the average of the response time metric exceeds the threshold. 10) A developer is testing an application locally and has deployed the application to an AWS Lambda function. To avoid exceeding the deployment package size quota, the developer did not include the dependencies in the deployment file. When the developer tests the application remotely, the Lambda function does not run because of missing dependencies. Which solution will resolve this issue? A) Use the Lambda console editor to update the code and include the missing dependencies. B) Create an additional.zip file that contains the missing dependencies. Include the.zip file in the original Lambda deployment package. C) Add references to the missing dependencies in the Lambda function's environment variables. D) Create a layer that contains the missing dependencies. Attach the layer to the Lambda function. © 2022, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates.

With Secrets Manager, you can rotate, manage, and retrieve database credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycle. Users and applications retrieve secrets by making a Secrets Manager API call, eliminating the need to hardcode sensitive information in plaintext. Secrets Manager offers secret rotation with built-in integration for Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility). 2) A, B – AWS AppSync simplifies application development by giving you the ability to create a flexible API to securely access, manipulate, and combine data from one or more data sources. AWS AppSync is a managed service that uses GraphQL to help applications get the exact data that they need. You can use AWS AppSync to build scalable applications that require real-time updates on a range of data sources, including Amazon DynamoDB. In Amazon API Gateway, you can create a WebSocket API as a stateful frontend for an AWS service (such as AWS Lambda or DynamoDB) or for an HTTP endpoint. The WebSocket API invokes the backend based on the content of the messages that the API receives from client applications. Unlike a REST API, which receives and responds to requests, a WebSocket API supports two-way communication between client applications and the backend. 3) A, E – Amazon Cognito adds user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to web and mobile applications. You can also create an AWS Lambda function to make an API call to a custom analytics solution and then invoke that function by using an Amazon Cognito post authentication trigger. 4) A, D – A resource policy can grant API access in one AWS account to users in a different AWS account by using Signature Version 4 (SigV4) protocols. 5) A – An AWS Lambda function's execution role grants the Lambda function permission to access AWS services and resources. You provide this role when you create a function, and Lambda assumes the role when a function is invoked. 6) D – Envelope encryption is the practice of encrypting plaintext data with a data key and then encrypting the data key under another key. You must store the encrypted form of the data key so that you can use the data key to decrypt the encrypted data in the database. 7) B – Lazy loading is a caching strategy in which a record does not load until the record is needed. When you implement lazy loading, the application first checks the cache for a record. If the record is not present, the application retrieves the record from the database and stores the record in the cache. 8) B – With deployment stages in Amazon API Gateway, you can manage multiple release stages for each API. You can configure stage variables so that an API deployment stage can interact with different backend endpoints. You can use API Gateway stage variables to reference a single AWS Lambda function with multiple versions and aliases. 9) C – You can configure the Amazon CloudWatch agent to stream logs and metrics to CloudWatch. You also can create metric filters from logs that are stored in CloudWatch Logs. 10) D – You can configure an AWS Lambda function to pull in additional code and content in the form of layers. A layer is a.zip file archive that contains libraries, a custom runtime, or other dependencies. With layers, you can use libraries in a Lambda function without needing to include the libraries in a deployment package. © 2022, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates.
