Amazon Web Services Updated DVA-C02 Exam Questions and Answers by rylee

Why Option C is Correct:

Amazon ElastiCache (Memcached) provides low-latency, in-memory caching suitable for session storage. It ensures stateless web tier operations and supports the high throughput of 5000 requests per minute.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

Option A: RDS has higher latency compared to in-memory caching solutions like ElastiCache.

Option B: Shared file systems introduce additional complexity and are not ideal for low-latency session data storage.

Option D: DynamoDB has low latency but is less performant than ElastiCache for in-memory session management.

Amazon API Gateway supports mock integration responses, which are predefined responses that can be returned without sending requests to a backend service. Mock integration responses can be used for testing or prototyping purposes, or for simulating different backend responses based on certain conditions. A request mapping template can be used to select a mock integration response based on an expression that evaluates some aspects of the request, such as headers, query strings, or body content. This solution does not require any additional resources or code changes and has the least operational overhead. Reference: Set up mock integrations for an API Gateway REST API

Instance Metadata Service: EC2 instances have access to an internal metadata service. It provides instance-specific information like instance ID, security groups, and public IP address.

Accessing Metadata:

Make an HTTP GET request to the base URL: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/

You ' ll get a list of available categories. The public IPv4 address is under public-ipv4.

This solution will ensure that all orders and updates are stored to Amazon S3 with the least development effort because it uses DynamoDB Streams to capture changes in the DynamoDB table and trigger a Lambda function to write those changes to the S3 bucket. This way, the original Lambda function and API Gateway API endpoint do not need to be modified, and no additional services are required. Option A is not optimal because it will require more development effort to create a new Lambda function and a new API Gateway API endpoint, and to modify the original Lambda function to post updates to the new API endpoint. Option B is not optimal because it will introduce additional costs and complexity to use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to create a new data stream, and to modify the Lambda function to publish orders to the data stream. Option D is not optimal because it will require more development effort to modify the Lambda function to publish to a new Amazon SNS topic, and to create and subscribe a new Lambda function to the topic.
