SQS ____ polling is a way to retrieve messages from your SQS queues

Answer 29

long

Question 30

Answer 35

T

Question 36

for FIFO queues, changing the setting to postpone the delivery of new messages affects the delay of messages already in teh queue

Answer 36

yes

Question 37

what should you use delay queue?
