DVA-C02 Leak Questions

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

Option D: Set up Amazon S3 Caching for CodeBuild:

CodeBuild supports S3 caching to store intermediate build artifacts and dependencies. This reduces the time required to download dependencies during subsequent builds, effectively lowering costs and improving build performance.

By using S3 caching, developers can optimize costs without changing the compute type or adding complexity.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option A: CodeBuild does not have a "reserved capacity fleet" option.

Option B: AWS Lambda cannot be used as the compute mode for CodeBuild projects. CodeBuild uses its own managed build environments.

Option C: CodeBuild already operates on an on-demand basis, so this does not address the need for optimization or reduced provisioning time.

AWS Lambda is a service that lets developers run code without provisioning or managing servers. Lambda provides a local file system that can be used to store temporary files during invocation. The local file system is mounted under the /tmp directory and has a limit of 512 MB. The temporary files are accessible only by the Lambda function that created them and are deleted after the function execution ends. The developer can store temporary files that are less than 10 MB in the /tmp directory and access and modify them multiple times during invocation.

Centralized Logging Benefits: Centralized logging is essential for operational visibility in scalable systems, especially those using multiple EC2 instances like our e-commerce website. CloudWatch provides this capability, along with other monitoring features.

CloudWatch Agent: This is the best way to send custom application logs from EC2 instances to CloudWatch. Here's the process:

Install the CloudWatch agent on each EC2 instance.

Configure the agent with a configuration file, specifying:

Which log files to collect.

The format in which to send logs to CloudWatch (e.g., JSON).

The specific CloudWatch Logs log group and log stream for these logs.

Viewing and Analyzing Logs: Once the agent is pushing logs, use the CloudWatch Logs console or API:

View and search the logs across all instances.

Set up alarms based on log events.

Use CloudWatch Logs Insights for sophisticated queries and analysis.
