A developer is troubleshooting an authorization issue with a REST API in Amazon API Gateway. The API uses a custom Lambda authorizer with caching enabled, and the cache key is set to the Authorization header. When a client sends a request to GET /orders/101 with a valid token, the request succeeds. However, when the same client immediately sends a request to GET /orders/202 using the same token, the client receives a 403 Forbidden error with the message 'User is not authorized to access this resource'. The developer verifies that the client has valid permissions for both order resources. What is the root cause of this authorization failure, and how should it be resolved?

The Lambda authorizer returned a resource ARN specific to the first request's path, which was cached. Subsequent requests for different paths with the same token reuse the cached policy and are denied. To resolve this, configure the Lambda authorizer to return a wildcard resource ARN covering all paths, or disable caching.

The Lambda authorizer's IAM execution role lacks permissions to assume the client's IAM role for the second request. To resolve this, modify the trust policy of the client's IAM role to allow the sts:AssumeRole action for the Lambda authorizer's execution role.

The API Gateway service principal lacks permissions to invoke the Lambda authorizer for the second path resource. To resolve this, add a resource-based policy to the Lambda authorizer function to grant lambda:InvokeFunction permission to apigateway.amazonaws.com.

The API Gateway API must use a Cognito User Pools authorizer instead of a custom Lambda authorizer to validate identity tokens. To resolve this, configure Cognito User Pools and associate it with a Cognito Identity Pool to map groups to IAM roles for dynamic path authorization.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The Lambda authorizer returned a resource ARN specific to the first request's path, which was cached. Subsequent requests for different paths with the same token reuse the cached policy and are denied. To resolve this, configure the Lambda authorizer to return a wildcard resource ARN covering all paths, or disable caching.

Cevap

When caching is enabled, API Gateway caches the policy returned by the Lambda authorizer using the cache key (the token). If the policy specifies a resource-specific ARN (like the path of the first request), any subsequent requests to a different path with the same token will use the cached policy and fail with a 403 Forbidden error because that path is not allowed in the policy. Returning a wildcard ARN or disabling caching resolves this issue.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the symptoms of the authorization failure where the first request succeeds but the subsequent request with the same token to a different path fails with a 403 Forbidden error.

Identify that the Lambda authorizer has caching enabled with the Authorization header as the cache key.

This helps narrow down the problem to how API Gateway caches and evaluates the IAM policy returned by the Lambda authorizer.

Examine how API Gateway caches policies based on the custom Lambda authorizer configuration.

The authorizer returns a policy containing the resource ARN for the specific path of the first request (/orders/101), which is then cached by API Gateway for that authorization token.

API Gateway uses the cached policy for all subsequent requests containing the same token during the TTL period, without invoking the Lambda function again.

Determine how the cached policy affects the second request (GET /orders/202).

Because the cached policy only allows access to the resource ARN for /orders/101, API Gateway denies access to /orders/202 and returns a 403 Forbidden error.

This confirms that the narrow resource scope in the cached policy is the root cause of the authorization failure.

Formulate the resolution to fix the authorization issue.

Modify the Lambda authorizer code to return a wildcard resource ARN (e.g., /orders/*) so that the cached policy permits access to all relevant paths, or disable caching if granular per-path verification is required on every request.

This ensures that either the cached policy is broad enough to cover all client requests or that the authorizer runs on every request to generate a precise policy.

A developer is troubleshooting an application named PixelStream that uploads high-resolution images. The application stores metadata in an Amazon DynamoDB table where the partition key is set to the upload date (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD). During peak hours, the application frequently encounters ProvisionedThroughputExceededException errors even though the table's overall consumed throughput is well below the provisioned write capacity limit. What is the most effective way to resolve this throughput issue?

Redesign the partition key schema to use a more granular attribute, such as a unique Image ID, to distribute write requests evenly across partitions.

Increase the Amazon SQS visibility timeout of the incoming queue to allow the consumers more time to write records to the table.

Cevap: Redesign the partition key schema to use a more granular attribute, such as a unique Image ID, to distribute write requests evenly across partitions.

Cevap

Redesign the partition key schema to use a more granular attribute, such as a unique Image ID, to distribute write requests evenly across partitions.

Redesigning the partition key schema to use a high-cardinality attribute, such as a unique Image ID, spreads write operations across multiple physical partitions, preventing any single partition from exceeding its individual throughput limits.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the table schema and error behavior.

Identify that the partition key is the upload date, which has very low cardinality and results in all writes for a given day hitting the same partition.

This confirms that the ProvisionedThroughputExceededException is caused by a hot partition key rather than exceeding the table's total capacity.

Determine the solution for even data distribution.

Select a partition key with high cardinality, such as a unique Image ID.

High-cardinality keys distribute write requests evenly across physical partitions, resolving partition-level write limits.

A developer is troubleshooting a CI/CD pipeline in AWS CodePipeline that deploys infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation. During the initial deployment of a new stack, the deployment stage failed due to an invalid parameter value, leaving the CloudFormation stack in the ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state. After correcting the parameter value in the template and pushing the fix to the source repository, the pipeline runs again but the CloudFormation deploy stage fails immediately, indicating that the stack cannot be updated. Which action must the developer perform to successfully deploy the stack through the pipeline?

Delete the existing CloudFormation stack manually or via the AWS CLI, and then trigger the pipeline again.

Execute the aws cloudformation continue-update-rollback CLI command to force the stack back to an active state, then trigger the pipeline.

Modify the trust policy of the CloudFormation execution role to allow the cloudformation.amazonaws.com service principal to assume the role, and then release the change.

Cevap: Delete the existing CloudFormation stack manually or via the AWS CLI, and then trigger the pipeline again.

Cevap

Delete the existing CloudFormation stack manually or via the AWS CLI, and then trigger the pipeline again.

The correct answer is to delete the existing CloudFormation stack manually or via the AWS CLI, and then trigger the pipeline again. When a CloudFormation stack fails during its initial creation, it goes into the ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state. CloudFormation does not allow updates to a stack that has never been successfully created. Therefore, to proceed, the developer must delete the failed stack, which removes it, allowing the pipeline's subsequent run to perform a successful create operation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the current status of the CloudFormation stack from the AWS CloudFormation console or CLI.

The stack is found to be in the ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state due to a failed initial creation.

Understanding the exact failure state is necessary because different rollback states (e.g., ROLLBACK_COMPLETE vs UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE) have different recovery paths.

Determine the supported actions for a stack in the ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state.

A stack in ROLLBACK_COMPLETE cannot be updated; it can only be deleted.

This determines that attempting to push template updates through the pipeline directly will continue to fail, as the pipeline will attempt to perform a stack update action.

Delete the failed stack and re-run the pipeline.

The pipeline runs successfully and creates the stack from scratch with the corrected template.

Deleting the stack removes the blocked state, allowing the pipeline's CloudFormation action to execute a clean stack creation.

Cevap: Set the container port to 80 and the host port to 0 (or leave it blank) in the task definition port mapping.; Configure the task definition's Task Role (taskRoleArn) with the IAM policies required to access the Amazon DynamoDB table and AWS Secrets Manager.

Cevap

Configure dynamic port mapping by setting the host port to 0 or leaving it blank, and assign the required IAM policies to the ECS Task Role (taskRoleArn) with a trust policy for ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com.

To support running multiple instances of the container on a single EC2 host using the bridge network mode, dynamic host port mapping is required. This is achieved by setting the host port to 0 or leaving it blank in the task definition port mapping, which allows the ECS agent to automatically map the container port to a random ephemeral port on the host. Furthermore, the application container requires AWS credentials at runtime to query the DynamoDB table and fetch secrets from Secrets Manager. These application-level permissions must be defined in an IAM role assigned to the taskRoleArn (Task Role) parameter of the task definition.

Adım Adım Çözüm

A developer is setting up an AWS CodeBuild project to build a containerized application. The build process needs to retrieve a database password securely from AWS Secrets Manager. The developer has stored a custom build specification file at the path `build/pipelines/buildspec-dev.yml` in the source repository. During the initial build run, CodeBuild fails immediately because it cannot locate the build specification, and the database credentials are not resolved. Which two actions should the developer take to configure the project correctly? (Choose two.)

Cevap: Update the CodeBuild project configuration to set the buildspec file path to build/pipelines/buildspec-dev.yml; In the buildspec-dev.yml file, retrieve the database password by defining it under the secrets-manager key in the env section

Cevap

To configure the project correctly, the developer must update the CodeBuild project settings to set the buildspec path to the custom subdirectory path, and update the buildspec-dev.yml file to declare the secret under the secrets-manager key in the env section.

To resolve the buildspec locator issue, the developer must explicitly configure the custom file path in the CodeBuild project configuration since it is not named buildspec.yml at the root. To retrieve the secret correctly, the developer must define it under the secrets-manager key in the env block, which instructs CodeBuild to retrieve the value from Secrets Manager natively.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Configure the CodeBuild project settings to point to the correct buildspec location.

CodeBuild is successfully able to locate and parse the buildspec file from build/pipelines/buildspec-dev.yml instead of failing at the start of the build.

By default, CodeBuild only searches for buildspec.yml at the root directory of the source provider. Any other name or path must be configured in the project settings.

Configure the env section of the buildspec-dev.yml file to pull the database password from Secrets Manager.

The database password is dynamically retrieved and exposed as an environment variable in the build environment.

Using the native secrets-manager key in the env block tells CodeBuild to fetch the secret from AWS Secrets Manager using the service role's permissions.

A developer is troubleshooting an AWS Lambda function that processes customer orders. The Lambda function is configured to run inside a custom VPC in two private subnets to access an Amazon RDS database securely. During testing, the function times out when attempting to connect to an external payment processor's HTTP endpoint over the internet. Additionally, under load, the Lambda function frequently times out because it establishes a new database connection during each invocation, quickly exhausting database resources.

Cevap: Configuring a NAT gateway in a public subnet, and updating the route tables of the private subnets to route outbound internet traffic (0.0.0.0/0) through the NAT gateway.; Declaring the database connection client outside of the Lambda handler function to enable execution context reuse across warm starts.

Cevap

The correct options are configuring a NAT gateway in a public subnet and routing the private subnet's traffic through it, and declaring the database connection client outside of the handler function to reuse the execution context.

The correct options resolve both issues. Routing internet-bound traffic from private subnets through a NAT gateway in a public subnet allows the Lambda function to communicate with the external payment API. Declaring the database client outside the handler code ensures that the database connection is reused across invocations, mitigating connection overhead and latency.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Address the external payment processor connection timeouts.

Determine that Lambda functions in private subnets require a NAT gateway or VPC endpoint to access the public internet.

Since the external API is on the internet, a NAT gateway must be set up in a public subnet, and the private subnet route tables must be updated to route outbound traffic through it.

Address the database resource exhaustion and execution timeouts under load.

Move the database connection initialization code out of the Lambda handler block to global scope.

This allows subsequent warm executions of the function to reuse the existing database connection pool instead of repeatedly opening and closing sockets, resolving execution timeouts and database overload.

An application running inside an Amazon ECS task on AWS Fargate in Account A ( $111111111111$ ) needs to write objects to an Amazon S3 bucket located in Account B ( $222222222222$ ). The developer wants the application to temporarily assume an IAM role named CrossAccountS3Writer in Account B. The ECS task definition is configured with an ECS Task Role named ECSTaskRole.

The trust policy of the CrossAccountS3Writer role in Account B contains the following statement:

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/ECSTaskRole"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
}

When the application execution code attempts to call the sts:AssumeRole API, it fails with an AccessDenied error. How should the developer resolve this authorization failure?

Attach an identity-based policy to ECSTaskRole in Account A that grants the sts:AssumeRole permission targeting the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CrossAccountS3Writer role in Account B.

Attach an identity-based policy to the ECS Task Execution Role in Account A that grants the sts:AssumeRole permission targeting the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CrossAccountS3Writer role in Account B.

Modify the trust policy of the CrossAccountS3Writer role in Account B to specify the ECS service principal ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com as the principal instead of the ECSTaskRole ARN.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Attach an identity-based policy to ECSTaskRole in Account A that grants the sts:AssumeRole permission targeting the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CrossAccountS3Writer role in Account B.

Cevap

Attach an identity-based policy to ECSTaskRole in Account A that grants the sts:AssumeRole permission targeting the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CrossAccountS3Writer role in Account B.

For cross-account role assumption, AWS IAM requires a bilateral handshake: the trusting role (in Account B) must specify the external principal in its trust policy, and the trusted principal (in Account A) must have an identity-based policy that grants permission to call 'sts:AssumeRole' on the target role's ARN. Since the trust policy in Account B is already correctly configured, adding the 'sts:AssumeRole' permission to the ECSTaskRole in Account A completes this handshake and resolves the AccessDenied error.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the error context and the resource policy configuration.

The application inside the ECS task is trying to assume the CrossAccountS3Writer role in Account B, but the AssumeRole request is denied.

Establishing cross-account delegation requires explicit authorization in both accounts: a trust relationship in the receiving account (Account B) and an identity-based grant in the initiating account (Account A).

Examine the trust policy of the target role (CrossAccountS3Writer) in Account B.

The trust policy correctly allows the identity 'arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/ECSTaskRole' to call 'sts:AssumeRole'.

This confirms that Account B is configured properly to trust the ECS Task Role from Account A.

Determine the missing permission in the initiating account (Account A).

The ECS Task Role (ECSTaskRole) itself does not have a policy permitting it to invoke 'sts:AssumeRole' on the destination role.

IAM identities require explicit permission to call 'sts:AssumeRole' on a resource in another account, even if that resource trusts them.

Select the correct action to resolve the authorization failure.

Add an identity-based policy to 'ECSTaskRole' with an 'Allow' effect on the 'sts:AssumeRole' action, specifying the ARN of the target role in Account B as the resource.

This satisfies the cross-account delegation requirements by authorizing the ECS Task Role to perform the assume-role request.

A developer has configured an AWS Lambda function written in Python to process events from an Amazon SQS queue and write the results to an Amazon DynamoDB table. Active tracing is enabled on both the SQS queue and the Lambda function.

Cevap

Import the AWS X-Ray SDK in the Lambda function code and invoke the patch_all() function before initializing the Boto3 client.

The correct answer is to import the AWS X-Ray SDK and run the patch_all() function. When running a Python Lambda function with active tracing enabled, downstream SDK calls are not traced by default unless the Boto3 library is instrumented. Patching the library automatically wraps Boto3 clients so that downstream calls (like DynamoDB operations) are recorded as subsegments in the X-Ray trace.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify that the Lambda function has active tracing enabled but downstream calls to DynamoDB are not being recorded.

The Lambda function segment is present, but DynamoDB subsegments are missing.

Active tracing on Lambda only traces the Lambda execution itself, not downstream SDK calls by default.

Instrument the Boto3 library using the AWS X-Ray SDK for Python.

The Boto3 clients will automatically generate and propagate subsegment details for downstream API calls.

A developer is troubleshooting a web dashboard hosted on `https://monitor.server-analytics.io` that queries a backend using an Amazon API Gateway REST API.

Cevap

Configure the `OPTIONS` method on the API Gateway resource to return the required CORS headers for preflight requests, and modify the Lambda function's response payload to include the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header in the `headers` object.

The correct options are configuring the `OPTIONS` method on the API Gateway resource and modifying the Lambda function's response payload. Under a Lambda Proxy integration, resolving CORS requires a two-fold approach: first, the preflight `OPTIONS` request must be handled by API Gateway (or a mock integration) to return the allowed origin; second, the backend Lambda function must return the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header in its execution response.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Enable CORS preflight by configuring the `OPTIONS` method on the API resource.

The browser's initial preflight request is successfully answered with `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` and other CORS headers.

Browsers send an HTTP `OPTIONS` preflight request before cross-origin non-simple requests to verify if the server permits the cross-origin call.

Add the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header to the backend response returned by the Lambda function.

The actual HTTP request succeeds because the response payload contains the required header.

Under Lambda Proxy integration, API Gateway does not automatically inject CORS headers into the backend response. The backend Lambda function must explicitly return these headers in its payload.

Anahtar Kavram

CORS handling in API Gateway Lambda Proxy integrations requires CORS configuration for both the preflight `OPTIONS` method on API Gateway and the actual method response from the backend Lambda function.

A developer is troubleshooting an AWS Lambda function with a configured timeout of 10 seconds. The function is occasionally failing to process incoming payloads. The developer wants to configure an Amazon CloudWatch Logs metric filter to count how many times the function executions are terminated due to timeouts, and to trigger an alarm.

Cevap: Create a metric filter on the log group with the pattern "Task timed out" and create a CloudWatch alarm based on this metric.

Cevap

Create a metric filter on the log group with the pattern "Task timed out" and create a CloudWatch alarm based on this metric.

When a Lambda function times out, the Lambda service halts execution immediately. This prevents the custom application code from completing and writing any custom JSON log events. Instead, the service writes a message containing 'Task timed out' to the log stream. Therefore, a metric filter targeting this literal string is the only reliable way to count timeouts.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze Lambda execution behavior during a timeout

When a Lambda function reaches its configured timeout limit (10 seconds in this scenario), the AWS Lambda service terminates the execution container immediately.

This shows that any application-level code designed to run at the end of the handler (such as writing a custom JSON log with execution metrics) is never executed.

Identify the log event recorded during a timeout

The AWS Lambda service runtime writes a platform-generated log line to the log stream, containing the phrase: 'Task timed out after 10.00 seconds'.

To reliably track timeouts, the metric filter must search for this platform-generated text rather than custom JSON properties that are only written upon successful handler execution.

Select the correct CloudWatch Logs Metric Filter syntax

The literal pattern "Task timed out" is used to match the platform log event. An alarm is then associated with this metric to trigger notifications or scaling actions.

This correctly targets the service-level error message and tracks execution failures accurately.

Cevap

To allow the Lambda function to perform cross-account access, the developer must grant the sts:AssumeRole permission to the Lambda execution role in Account A and configure the target role in Account B to trust the Lambda execution role in Account A.

The correct configurations involve setting up both sides of the trust boundary. First, the calling role in Account A must be granted permission to perform the sts:AssumeRole action. Second, the trust policy of the target role in Account B must be updated to trust the calling role in Account A as the principal.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the error message and the configuration requirements.

The error indicates that the Lambda execution role in Account A is not authorized to perform sts:AssumeRole on the cross-account role in Account B.

For cross-account role assumption to succeed, two permissions must match: the caller role must have a permission policy allowing sts:AssumeRole, and the destination role must have a trust policy allowing the caller role to assume it.

Configure the calling side (Account A).

Attach an IAM policy to the LambdaExecutionRole allowing the action sts:AssumeRole on the resource arn:aws:iam::444455556666:role/CrossAccountDynamoDBRole.

This grants the source role the necessary authorization to call the STS AssumeRole API.

Configure the receiving side (Account B).

Update the trust policy of CrossAccountDynamoDBRole to specify the ARN of the LambdaExecutionRole (arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/LambdaExecutionRole) as the principal and allow sts:AssumeRole.

This establishes the trust relationship, allowing the principal from Account A to assume the role in Account B.

Anahtar Kavram

Cross-account IAM role assumption requires configuration on both the source account (identity policy permitting sts:AssumeRole) and the destination account (trust policy permitting the source identity).

Additionally, the developer needs to store database credentials securely and retrieve them during the deployment process rather than packaging them in the deployment bundle.

Which two actions should the developer take to resolve these issues? (Select TWO.)

Geçerli olan tümünü seçin

Attach an IAM policy to the EC2 instance profile role that allows the s3:GetObject action on the S3 bucket containing the deployment bundle.

Store the database credentials as SecureString parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and write a script in the AppSpec BeforeInstall hook to retrieve them.

Attach an IAM policy to the CodeDeploy service role that allows the s3:GetObject action on the S3 bucket containing the deployment bundle.

Configure the trust policy of the CodeDeploy service role to allow the ec2.amazonaws.com service to assume the role.

Store the database credentials as plaintext parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and write a script in the AppSpec AfterAllowTraffic hook to retrieve them.

Cevap: Attach an IAM policy to the EC2 instance profile role that allows the s3:GetObject action on the S3 bucket containing the deployment bundle.; Store the database credentials as SecureString parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and write a script in the AppSpec BeforeInstall hook to retrieve them.

Cevap

Attach an IAM policy to the EC2 instance profile role that allows the s3:GetObject action on the S3 bucket containing the deployment bundle, and store the database credentials as SecureString parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, retrieving them in the AppSpec BeforeInstall hook.

The correct options involve configuring the EC2 instance profile role with the appropriate S3 read permissions so the CodeDeploy agent can download the bundle, and securely storing credentials in Systems Manager Parameter Store as SecureString parameters, retrieving them during a valid EC2 lifecycle hook like BeforeInstall.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the cause of the CodeDeploy agent S3 access failure.

The agent runs on the EC2 instances and uses the instance profile role to download the deployment bundle. S3 permissions must be granted to the instance profile role, not the CodeDeploy service role.

Permissions must align with the identity executing the action, which is the CodeDeploy agent on EC2.

Determine the secure method and correct lifecycle hook for credential retrieval on EC2.

Store credentials as SecureString parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and retrieve them using a lifecycle hook valid for EC2, such as BeforeInstall.

This avoids plaintext storage and uses a hook that is compatible with EC2 in-place deployments.

A developer is designing a web application dashboard for a smart home IoT system. The application needs to allow users to sign in using their email and password or their social identity provider. Once authenticated, the web application must securely download and upload user-specific configuration files directly from an Amazon S3 bucket. Additionally, the application must invoke backend REST API endpoints hosted on Amazon API Gateway, which should only be accessible to authenticated users.

Which Cognito configuration should the developer choose to satisfy these requirements with the least operational overhead?

Configure a Cognito Identity Pool to manage user registration, local password policies, and social provider integration. Secure the API Gateway REST API using an API Gateway Cognito Authorizer with the Identity Pool token, and access the S3 bucket using the same token.

Configure a Cognito User Pool for user authentication and federation. Configure an API Gateway Custom Lambda Authorizer that calls the Cognito Identity Pool credentials exchange API for every request, and use the returned IAM credentials to authorize the user.

Configure a Cognito User Pool to handle registration, login, and social identity provider federation. Secure the API Gateway REST API with a Cognito Authorizer using the User Pool ID token. Configure a Cognito Identity Pool with the User Pool as an identity provider to obtain temporary AWS credentials for S3 access.

Configure a Cognito User Pool to authenticate users. Store static IAM access keys and secret keys in the User Pool's custom user attributes, retrieve these attributes upon login, and use them to sign requests to API Gateway and S3.

Configure a Cognito Identity Pool with the User Pool as an identity provider to obtain temporary AWS credentials for S3 access.

Cevap

The correct approach uses an Amazon Cognito User Pool to manage authentication (handling registration, local credentials, and social provider federation) and uses the resulting JSON Web Token (JWT) ID token to authorize API requests via the built-in API Gateway Cognito Authorizer. To access AWS resources like Amazon S3, a Cognito Identity Pool is required to exchange the User Pool tokens for temporary AWS IAM credentials.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Select Cognito User Pools for user sign-in and management.

Users can register, sign in, and federate through social identity providers to receive JWT tokens.

Cognito User Pools serve as the user directory and handle the authentication flow.

Integrate API Gateway with the Cognito User Pool.

API Gateway uses a native Cognito Authorizer to validate incoming ID tokens directly.

This secures the REST API without requiring custom Lambda code or credentials exchange for API calls.

Configure a Cognito Identity Pool with the User Pool as a provider.

The client application exchanges the User Pool token for temporary AWS IAM credentials.

These temporary credentials allow the client application to directly and securely upload files to Amazon S3.

A developer is deploying an application on an Amazon EC2 instance. The application is configured to read configuration templates from an Amazon S3 bucket. The developer creates an IAM role named `AppConfigReadRole` with an attached policy that allows `s3:GetObject` on the target bucket. However, the application fails to retrieve the templates and receives an 'Access Denied' error. The developer inspects the trust policy of `AppConfigReadRole` and finds the following document:

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "lambda.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
}

Which of the following modifications to the trust policy will resolve the Access Denied error and allow the EC2 instance to assume the role?

Modify the trust policy statement to allow the `s3:GetObject` action instead of `sts:AssumeRole`.

Embed the AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key of a security administrator directly in the application code.

Change the principal service in the trust policy from `lambda.amazonaws.com` to `ec2.amazonaws.com`.

Change the principal service in the trust policy to `ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com` and attach it to the EC2 host's task execution role.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Change the principal service in the trust policy from `lambda.amazonaws.com` to `ec2.amazonaws.com`.

Cevap

Changing the service principal in the trust policy from `lambda.amazonaws.com` to `ec2.amazonaws.com`.

The trust policy of an IAM role determines which principals are allowed to assume it. For an application running on an Amazon EC2 instance to assume a role via an instance profile, the role's trust policy must specify the EC2 service principal (`ec2.amazonaws.com`) under the `Principal.Service` key, along with the `sts:AssumeRole` action. The original policy mistakenly trusted the Lambda service principal (`lambda.amazonaws.com`), which prevented the EC2 instance from assuming the role.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the compute environment where the application is running.

The application is running on an Amazon EC2 instance.

Understanding the host environment determines which AWS service principal needs permission to assume the IAM role.

Examine the trust policy of the `AppConfigReadRole` IAM role.

The principal is currently set to `lambda.amazonaws.com`.

An incorrect principal in a trust policy prevents the target service (EC2) from obtaining temporary credentials to assume the role.

Update the trust policy principal to match the hosting service.

Replace `lambda.amazonaws.com` with `ec2.amazonaws.com` in the trust policy.

This configures the role to trust the EC2 service, allowing the EC2 instance profile to successfully assume the role and access the S3 bucket.

A logistics tracking application named LogiRoute writes real-time status updates for packages to an Amazon DynamoDB table. During peak delivery hours, the application occasionally encounters ProvisionedThroughputExceededException errors when writing updates, causing the tracking requests to fail immediately. Monitoring metrics show that the table's total consumed write capacity remains well below its provisioned write capacity limit. Investigations reveal that the application's HTTP library is configured to disable automatic retries for all backend calls. How should the developer resolve these transient errors while minimizing cost?

Configure the AWS SDK client to use exponential backoff and jitter for handling transient write errors.

Increase the table's provisioned Write Capacity Units (WCUs) to accommodate the peak traffic spikes.

Cevap: Configure the AWS SDK client to use exponential backoff and jitter for handling transient write errors.

Cevap

Configure the AWS SDK client to use exponential backoff and jitter for handling transient write errors.

Configuring the AWS SDK client to use exponential backoff and jitter is the standard best practice for resolving transient ProvisionedThroughputExceededException errors when the overall capacity is sufficient. This allows the application to retry requests after a progressively longer, randomized delay, smoothing out traffic spikes and avoiding errors for the end user without increasing provisioned throughput costs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the error message and CloudWatch metrics.

Identify that the ProvisionedThroughputExceededException errors are transient and occurring even though the total consumed capacity is below provisioned limits.

This indicates that overall capacity is sufficient, but temporary bursts or micro-bursts are causing brief throttling.

Identify the application-side behavior.

Determine that automatic retries are disabled, causing the application to fail immediately upon receiving the exception.

AWS SDKs by default implement retry logic, but disabling or misconfiguring it causes immediate failures on transient errors.

Implement retry logic with backoff and jitter.

Configure the AWS SDK client to retry throttled requests using exponential backoff and randomized jitter delays.

This spreads out the retry attempts, preventing them from hitting the database simultaneously and successfully completing the writes once the transient spike subsides.

A developer is deploying a critical update to a serverless API backend running on AWS Lambda. The application handles high-velocity flash sales where traffic spikes instantly. To eliminate cold start latencies, the developer configures Provisioned Concurrency for the Lambda function. The API backend is integrated with an Amazon API Gateway HTTP API.

During deployment, the developer uploads the new function code, publishes Version $2$ of the function, and associates Provisioned Concurrency with Version $2$ . However, when testing the API Gateway endpoint that routes traffic to the function using the $\text{LATEST}$ identifier, clients still experience significant cold start latencies, and CloudWatch metrics show that the provisioned concurrency is not being utilized.

What should the developer do to ensure that the API Gateway endpoint utilizes the provisioned concurrency?

Update the API Gateway integration to target a specific Lambda alias or a published function version that has Provisioned Concurrency configured, rather than targeting the

\text{LATEST}

identifier.

Increase the execution timeout of the Lambda function and modify the function code to execute a dummy helper request before handling the main request to pre-warm the execution environments.

Cevap

Update the API Gateway integration to target a specific Lambda alias or a published function version that has Provisioned Concurrency configured, rather than targeting the

\text{LATEST}

identifier.

Provisioned Concurrency initializes a specified number of execution environments so that they are prepared to respond immediately to your function's invocations. However, AWS Lambda does not allow you to configure Provisioned Concurrency on the

\text{LATEST}

version of a function, and any invocations that target the

\text{LATEST}

identifier directly or through an alias pointing to

\text{LATEST}

will not utilize provisioned concurrency. Therefore, the API Gateway integration must be updated to target a published version or an alias pointing to a published version (such as Version

2

) that has Provisioned Concurrency configured.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the invocation path of the AWS Lambda function from API Gateway.

Identify that the API Gateway endpoint targets the

\text{LATEST}

identifier of the Lambda function.

To determine why the configured Provisioned Concurrency is not being utilized during invocation.

Review the AWS Lambda Provisioned Concurrency specifications and restrictions.

Cevap: Deploy the Lambda function in the private subnets. Create a Gateway VPC Endpoint for Amazon S3, and configure a NAT Gateway in a public subnet to route outbound traffic to the public internet.

Cevap

Deploy the Lambda function in the private subnets, configure a Gateway VPC Endpoint for Amazon S3, and deploy a NAT Gateway in a public subnet to route outbound public internet traffic.

Deploying the Lambda function in private subnets allows it to access the private RDS database securely. Using a Gateway VPC Endpoint for S3 is a cost-effective choice since Gateway Endpoints do not incur hourly or data processing charges, unlike Interface Endpoints. A NAT Gateway deployed in a public subnet is required to route outbound public internet traffic for the Lambda function in the private subnet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the destination targets and security requirements.

The RDS database is private (requires private subnet association), S3 is an AWS service (can use a VPC endpoint), and the payment API is on the public internet (requires a NAT Gateway or NAT instance for private resources).

To determine the networking components needed for the VPC.

Determine the most cost-effective and secure way to access Amazon S3.

A Gateway VPC Endpoint is free and routes traffic directly to S3 without going through the NAT Gateway, saving data processing fees.

Cevap

Initialize the DynamoDB client and the HTTP client outside of the Lambda handler method, and store the API key in AWS Secrets Manager, retrieving and caching it in a global variable outside the handler.

Initializing database clients and HTTP clients outside the handler allows AWS Lambda to reuse these connections across warm invocations, significantly optimizing execution latency. Additionally, retrieving sensitive keys from AWS Secrets Manager programmatically and caching them in global variables ensures credentials are kept secure while preventing API call overhead on subsequent executions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze performance optimization for database and external connections in Lambda.

Determine that SDK and HTTP clients should be initialized outside of the handler function.

This allows the function to reuse the execution context, including established TCP connections, across warm invocations, reducing latency.

Evaluate secure credential management options for the external API key.

Identify AWS Secrets Manager as the secure repository for the API key instead of hardcoding it in the source code.

Hardcoding credentials exposes secrets in source code repositories and makes key rotation difficult, violating AWS security best practices.

Optimize secret retrieval latency within the Lambda execution cycle.

Implement code to retrieve the secret and cache it in a global variable declared outside the handler.

operations/second of

4.5\text{ KB}

(rounded up to

). This consumes

75\text{ WCUs}

. Summing these values gives

195\text{ WCUs}

. The Read Capacity Unit (RCU) calculation is as follows: The TransactGetItems workload consists of

40

operations/second. Each transaction reads one

6\text{ KB}

item (rounded up to the nearest

4\text{ KB}

boundary, which is

8\text{ KB}

, consuming

2\text{ RCUs}

). Since transactional reads consume double the RCUs of strongly consistent reads, each transaction costs

4\text{ RCUs}

, totaling

Transactional reads are strongly consistent and consume double the capacity of standard strongly consistent reads. Reading a

6\text{ KB}

item requires rounding up to the nearest

4\text{ KB}

8\text{ KB}

), consuming

2\text{ RCUs}

for a standard strongly consistent read. Doubling this for the transaction results in

4\text{ RCUs}

per operation. For

40\text{ operations/sec}

, this consumes

40 \times 4 = 160\text{ RCUs}

Evaluate the architectural and security configurations.

Use the default credential provider chain and query/retrieve items directly rather than scanning.

Hardcoding credentials violates security best practices, and using Scan operations instead of Query or specific read APIs is highly inefficient and consumes excess RCUs.
