DVA-C02 Exam Dumps - Amazon Web Services AWS Certified Associate Questions and Answers

This solution allows the developer to troubleshoot the failure by capturing unprocessed events in a queue for further analysis. Dead Letter Queues (DLQs) are queues that store messages that could not be processed by a service, such as Lambda, for various reasons, such as configuration errors, throttling limits, or permissions issues. The developer can configure DLQs for Lambda functions by sending events to either an Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queue or an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic. The developer can then inspect the messages in the queue or topic to identify and fix the root cause of the failure. Configuring AWS CloudTrail logging will not capture invocation failures for asynchronous Lambda invocations, but only record API calls made by or on behalf of Lambda. Configuring Amazon Simple Workflow Service (SWF) or AWS Config will not process any direct unprocessed events, but require additional integration and configuration.

This solution allows the fastest response for the query because it enables the query to use a single partition key value (the Product ID) and a range of sort key values (the Product Rating) to find the matching items. A global secondary index (GSI) is an index that has a partition key and an optional sort key that are different from those on the base table. A GSI can be created at any time and can be queried or scanned independently of the base table. A local secondary index (LSI) is an index that has the same partition key as the base table, but a different sort key. An LSI can only be created when the base table is created and must be queried together with the base table partition key. Using a GSI with Product ID as the partition key and Review ID as the sort key will not allow the query to use a range of sort key values to find the highest ratings. Using an LSI with Product ID as the partition key and Product Rating as the sort key will not work because Product ID is not the partition key of the base table. Using an LSI with Review ID as the partition key and Product ID as the sort key will not allow the query to use a single partition key value to find the matching items.

EventBridge (formerly CloudWatch Events) is the ideal service for real-time event monitoring.

CloudTrail logs IAM role creation.

EventBridge rules can filter CloudTrail events and trigger SNS notifications instantly.

Problem: CloudFormation can't find the custom AMI in the target region (us-west-1) because AMIs are region-specific.

Copying AMIs:

AMIs can be copied across regions, maintaining their configuration.

This approach minimizes operational overhead as the existing CloudFormation template can be reused with a minor update.

Updating the Template:

Modify the CloudFormation template in us-west-1 to reference the newly copied AMI's ID in that region.

Amazon ElastiCache for Redis: An in-memory data store known for extremely low latency, ideal for caching frequently accessed, complex data.

Write-Through Caching: Ensures that data is always consistent between the cache and the database. Writes go to both Redis and RDS.

Performance Gains: Redis handles reads with minimal latency, offloading the RDS database and improving the application's responsiveness.

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and consistent performance with seamless scalability. The developer can store each employee’s contact information in a DynamoDB table along with the object keys for the photos stored in Amazon S3. Amazon S3 is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. The developer can use AWS APIs to search and retrieve the employee details and photos from DynamoDB and S3.

Why Option C is Correct:Ensuring that pipeline artifacts are encrypted with a customer-managed AWS KMS key involves configuring the S3 bucket policy to require encryption. This policy ensures all objects uploaded to the bucket are encrypted with the specified KMS key.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

Option A: A gateway endpoint improves S3 access efficiency but does not enforce encryption.

Option B: Encrypting CloudWatch Logs is unrelated to securing pipeline artifacts.

Option D: Configuring SNS for encryption does not affect the artifacts stored in the S3 bucket.

CodeDeploy Predefined Configurations: CodeDeploy offers built-in deployment configurations for common scenarios.

Canary Deployment: Canary deployments gradually shift traffic to a new version, ideal for controlled rollouts like this requirement.

CodeDeployDefault.ECSCanary10Percent15Minutes: This configuration matches the company's requirements, shifting 10% of traffic initially and then completing the rollout after 15 minutes.

DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) provides a managed caching layer specifically optimized for DynamoDB, reducing latency for repeated read requests.

Why Option A is Correct:

Purpose-Built: DAX is designed for DynamoDB, enabling sub-millisecond response times for frequently accessed items.

Operational Efficiency: No need for additional application-level caching logic.

Why Not Other Options:

Option B: Auto Scaling increases capacity but does not address repetitive reads.

Option C: API Gateway caching helps reduce request processing time but does not optimize DynamoDB reads.

Option D: ElastiCache is a general-purpose cache, adding unnecessary complexity for DynamoDB use cases.
