A developer is investigating an issue in part of a company's application. In the application messages are sent to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue The AWS Lambda function polls messages from the SQS queue and sends email messages by using Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) Users have been receiving duplicate email messages during periods of high traffic.
Which reasons could explain the duplicate email messages? (Select TWO.)
Correct Answer:
AD
Standard SQS queues support at-least-once message delivery, which means that a message can be delivered more than once to the same or different consumers. This can happen if the message is not deleted from the queue before the visibility timeout expires, or if there is a network issue or a system failure. The SQS queue’s visibility timeout is the period of time that a message is invisible to other consumers after it is received by one consumer. If the visibility timeout is lower than or the same as the Lambda function’s timeout, the Lambda function might not be able to process and delete the message before it becomes visible again, leading to duplicate processing and email messages. To avoid this, the visibility timeout should be set to at least 6 times the length of the Lambda function’s timeout. The other options are not related to the issue of duplicate email messages.

A developer is modifying an existing AWS Lambda function White checking the code the developer notices hardcoded parameter various for an Amazon RDS for SQL Server user name password database host and port. There also are hardcoded parameter values for an Amazon DynamoOB table. an Amazon S3 bucket, and an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.
The developer wants to securely store the parameter values outside the code m an encrypted format and wants to turn on rotation for the credentials. The developer also wants to be able to reuse the parameter values from other applications and to update the parameter values without modifying code.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
Correct Answer:
B
This solution will meet the requirements by using AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to securely store the parameter values outside the code in an encrypted format. AWS Secrets Manager is a service that helps protect secrets such as database credentials by encrypting them with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and enabling automatic rotation of secrets. The developer can create an RDS database secret in AWS Secrets Manager and set the user name, password, database, host, and port for accessing the RDS database. The developer can also turn on secret rotation, which will change the database credentials periodically according to a specified schedule or event. AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store is a service that provides secure and scalable storage for configuration data and secrets. The developer can create Secure String parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store for the DynamoDB table, S3 bucket, and SNS topic, which will encrypt them with AWS KMS. The developer can also reuse the parameter values from other applications and update them without modifying code. Option A is not optimal because it will create encrypted Lambdaenvironment variables for the DynamoDB table, S3 bucket, and SNS topic, which may not be reusable or updatable without modifying code. Option C is not optimal because it will create RDS database parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, which does not support automatic rotation of secrets. Option D is not optimal because it will store the DynamoDB table, S3 bucket, and SNS topic in Amazon S3, which may introduce additional costs and complexity for accessing configuration data.

A company is building a scalable data management solution by using AWS services to improve the speed and agility of development. The solution will ingest large volumes of data from various sources and will process this data through multiple business rules and transformations.
The solution requires business rules to run in sequence and to handle reprocessing of data if errors occur when the business rules run. The company needs the solution to be scalable and to require the least possible maintenance.
Which AWS service should the company use to manage and automate the orchestration of the data flows to meet these requirements?
Correct Answer:
D
A company wants to deploy and maintain static websites on AWS. Each website's source code is hosted in one of several version control systems, including AWS CodeCommit, Bitbucket, and GitHub.
The company wants to implement phased releases by using development, staging, user acceptance testing, and production environments in the AWS Cloud. Deployments to each environment must be started by code merges on the relevant Git branch. The company wants to use HTTPS for all data exchange. The company needs a solution that does not require servers to run continuously.
