How to configure API GW?
Put them in order.
- set security
- define an API (container)
- choose target (such as ec2, lambda, dynamoDB, etc)
- define resources and nested resources (URL paths)
- select supported HTTP methods (verbs)
- deploy API to a stage
- set requests and response transformations

which of the following can API GW do?
- uses API GW domain, by default
- can use custom domain
- now supports AWS Cert manager: free SSL/TLS certs
all of the above
You can enable API _____ in AWS API GW to cache your endpoints response.
caching
T or F
When you enable cachine for a stage, API GW caches responses from your endpoint for a specified (TTL) period, in seconds. API GW then responds to teh request by looking up the endpoint response from teh cache instead of making a request to your endpoint.
True
You can use the API GW ____ API feature to ______ an API
import
IMport API feature supports ________2.0 definition files.
swagger
With the import API, you can either create a new API by submitting a ____ request that includes Swahger definition in the payload and endpoint configuration, or you can update the existing API by using a ____ request that contains a swagger definition, or merge a definition with an existing API. YOu specify the options using a mode query parameter in teh request URL.
Place the words in the correct spot.
PUT POST
With the import API, you can either create a new API by submitting a POST request that includes Swahger definition in the payload and endpoint configuration, or you can update the existing API by using a PUT request that contains a swagger definition, or merge a definition with an existing API. YOu specify the options using a mode query parameter in teh request URL.
By default, API GW limits the steady state request rate to _______ requests per second (RPS)
- 1,000
- 10,000
- 100,000
- 1,000,000
10,000
the max concurrent request is ______ requests across all APIs within an AWS account.
- 5,000
- 10,000
- 100,000
- 1,000,000
5,000
If you go over _____ requests per second or _____ concurrent requests, you will receive a ____ too many request error response.
Place the numbers
- 111
- 429
- 5,000
- 10,000
- 35,767
- 100,000
If you go over 10,000 requests per second or 5,000 concurrent requests, you will receive a 429 too many request error response.
If a caller submits _____ requests in a one second period evenly, API GW processes all requests without dropping any.
- 1,000
- 10,000
- 100,000
- 1,000,000
10,000
If the caller sends ____ requests in the first millisecond, API GW serves _____ of those requests and throttles the rest in teh one-second period.
- 100
- 1,000
- 5,000
- 10,000
- 100,000
- 1,000,000
If the caller sends 10,000 requests in the first millisecond, API GW serves 5,000 of those requests and throttles the rest in teh one-second period.
If the caller submits ____ request in teh first millisecond and then even.y spreads another _____ requests through the remaining ____ milliseconds (for example, about ___ requests every millisecond), API GW processes all _____ requests in the ___ second preiod without returning ____ too many requests error responses.
Place the numbers in teh correct place.
- 1
- 5
- 429
- 999
- 5,000
- 5,000
- 10,000
If the caller submits 5,000 request in the first millisecond and then evenly spreads another 5,000 requests through the remaining 999 milliseconds (for example, about 5 requests every millisecond), API GW processes all 10,000 requests in the 1 second preiod without returning 429 too many requests error responses.
T or F
You can configure API GW as a REST web service passthrough
False
You can configure API GW as a SOAP web service passthrough
