DVA-C02 Leak Questions

AWS Amplify is a set of tools and services that enables developers to build and deploy full-stack web and mobile applications that are powered by AWS. AWS Amplify supports hosting static websites on Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront, with HTTPS enabled by default. AWS Amplify also integrates with various version control systems, such as AWS CodeCommit, Bitbucket, and GitHub, and allows developers to connect different branches to different environments. AWS Amplify automatically builds and deploys the website whenever code changes are merged to a connected branch, enabling phased releases with minimal operational overhead.

Amazon CloudWatch is the service that collects and stores logs from AWS Lambda functions. The developer can use CloudWatch Logs Insights to query and analyze the logs for errors and metrics. Option A is not correct because Amazon S3 is a storage service that does not store Lambda function logs. Option B is not correct because AWS CloudTrail is a service that records API calls and events for AWS services, not Lambda function logs. Option D is not correct because Amazon DynamoDB is a database service that does not store Lambda function logs.

This solution will meet the requirements by using Amazon CloudWatch Logs to capture and analyze the logs from API Gateway. Amazon CloudWatch Logs is a service that monitors, stores, and accesses log files from AWS resources. The developer can turn on execution logging and access logging in Amazon CloudWatch Logs for the API stage, which enables logging information about API execution and client access to the API. The developer can create a CloudWatch Logs log group, which is a collection of log streams that share the same retention, monitoring, and access control settings. The developer can specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the log group for the API stage, which instructs API Gateway to send the logs to the specified log group. The developer can then examine the logs to determine the cause of the HTTP 400 response errors. Option A is not optimal because it will create an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to receive API call logs from API Gateway, which may introduce additional costs and complexity for delivering and processing streaming data. Option B is not optimal because it will turn on AWS CloudTrail Insights and create a trail, which is a feature that helps identify and troubleshoot unusual API activity or operational issues, not HTTP response errors. Option C is not optimal because it will turn on AWS X-Ray for the API stage, which is a service that helps analyze and debug distributed applications, not HTTP response errors.

Lambda Concurrency: The 'maximum concurrency' setting in event source mappings controls the maximum number of simultaneous invocations Lambda allows for that specific source.

Prioritizing Queues: Setting a lower maximum concurrency for the 'high priority queue' ensures it's processed first while allowing more concurrent invocations from the 'low priority queue'.

Batching: Batch size settings affect the number of messages Lambda retrieves from a queue per invocation, which is less relevant to the prioritization requirement.
