A company has a requirement that only allows specially hardened AMIs to be launched into public subnets in a VPC, and for the AMIs to be associated with a specific security group.Allowing non-compliant instances to launch into the public subnet could present a significant security risk if they are allowed to operate.A mapping of approved AMIs to subnets to security groups exists in an Amazon DynamoDB table in the same AWS account.The company created an AWSLambda function that, when invoked, will terminate a given Amazon EC2 instance if the combination of AMI, subnet, and security group are not approved in theDynamoDB table.What should the Solutions Architect do to MOST quickly mitigate the risk of compliance deviations?Read More →

A company has an online shop that uses an Amazon API Gateway API, AWS Lambda functions, and an Amazon DynamoDB table provisioned with 900 RCUs.The API Gateway API receives requests from customers, and the Lambda functions handle the requests.Some of the Lambda functions read data from theDynamoDB table.During peak hours, customers are reporting timeout errors and slow performance.An investigation reveals that the Lambda functions that read the DynamoDB table occasionally time out.Amazon CloudWatch metrics show that the peak usage of the DynamoDB table is just below 900 RCUs.Which solution will resolve this issue MOST cost-effectively?Read More →
