Q

A company’s fleet of Amazon EC2 instances receives data from millions of users through an API. The servers batch the data, add an object for each user, and upload the objects to an S3 bucket to ensure high access rates. The object attributes are Customer ID, Server ID, TS-Server (TimeStamp and Server ID), the size of the object, and a timestamp. A Developer wants to find all the objects for a given user collected during a speci fied time range.

After creating an S3 object created event, how can the Developer achieve this requirement?

A. Execute an AWS Lambda function in response to the S3 object creation events that creates an Amazon DynamoDB record for every object with the Customer ID as the partition key and the Server ID as the sort key. Retrieve all the records using the Customer ID and Server ID attributes.

B. Execute an AWS Lambda function in response to the S3 object creation events that creates an Amazon Redshift record for every object with the Customer ID as the partition key and TS-Server as the sort key. Retrieve all the records using the Customer ID and TS-Server attributes.

C. Execute an AWS Lambda function in response to the S3 object creation events that creates an Amazon DynamoDB record for every object with the Customer ID as the partition key and TS-Server as the sort key. Retrieve all the records using the Customer ID and TS-Server attributes.

D. Execute an AWS Lambda function in response to the S3 object creation events that creates an Amazon Redshift record for every object with the Customer ID as the partition key and the Server ID as the sort key. Retrieve all the records using the Customer ID and Server ID attributes.

Q

A company is managing a NoSQL database on-premises to host a critical component of an application, which is starting to have scaling issues. The company wants to migrate the application to Amazon DynamoDB with the following considerations:

  • > Optimize frequent queries
  • > Reduce read latencies
  • > Plan for frequent queries on certain key attributes of the table

Which solution would help achieve these objectives?

A. Create global secondary indexes on keys that are frequently queried. Add the necessary attributes into the indexes.

B. Create local secondary indexes on keys that are frequently queried. DynamoDB will fetch needed attributes from the table.

C. Create DynamoDB global tables to speed up query responses. Use a scan to fetch data from the table.

D. Create an AWS Auto Scaling policy for the DynamoDB table.

A

A. Create global secondary indexes on keys that are frequently queried. Add the necessary attributes into the indexes.

Q

A developer is writing an application that will process data delivered into an Amazon S3 bucket. The data is delivered approximately 10 times a day, and the developer expects the data will be processed in less than 1 minute, on average.

How can the developer deploy and invoke the application with the lowest cost and lowest latency?

A. Deploy the application as an AWS Lambda function and invoke it with an Amazon CloudWatch alarm triggered by an S3 object upload.

B. Deploy the application as an AWS Lambda function and invoke it with an S3 event noti fication.

C. Deploy the application as an AWS Lambda function and invoke it with an Amazon CloudWatch scheduled event.

D. Deploy the application onto an Amazon EC2 instance and have it poll the S3 bucket for new objects.

A

B. Deploy the application as an AWS Lambda function and invoke it with an S3 event noti fication.

Q

A developer converted an existing program to an AWS Lambda function in the console. The program runs properly on a local laptop, but shows an Unable to import module error when tested in the Lambda console.

Which of the following can x the error?

A. Install the missing module and specify the current directory as the target. Create a ZIP fi le to include all files under the current directory, and upload the ZIP file.

B. Install the missing module in a lib directory. Create a ZIP file to include all files under the lib directory, and upload the ZIP file as dependency file.

C. In the Lambda code, invoke a Linux command to install the missing modules under the /usr/lib directory.

D. In the Lambda console, create a LB_LIBRARY_PATH environment and specify the value for the system library path.

A

A. Install the missing module and specify the current directory as the target. Create a ZIP fi le to include all files under the current directory, and upload the ZIP file.

Q

A front-end web application is using Amazon Cognito user pools to handle the user authentication ow. A developer is integrating Amazon DynamoDB into the application using the AWS SDK for JavaScript.

How would the developer securely call the API without exposing the access or secret keys?

A. Con figure Amazon Cognito identity pools and exchange the JSON Web Token (JWT) for temporary credentials.

B. Run the web application in an Amazon EC2 instance with the instance pro file con figured.

C. Hardcore the credentials, use Amazon S3 to host the web application, and enable server-side encryption.

D. Use Amazon Cognito user pool JSON Web Tokens (JWITs) to access the DynamoDB APIs.

A

A. Con figure Amazon Cognito identity pools and exchange the JSON Web Token (JWT) for temporary credentials.
