Q

What is the Dead-letter Queue feature?

A

“After a specified number of execution attempts have failed Lambda can forward the unprocessed payload to a DLQ such as an SQS or SNS for logging purposes
DLQs can trigger additonal Lambda functions”

Q

What CloudFront events can be used to trigger Lambda functions?

A

“CloudFront uses a CloudFront cache at edge locations to improve accessibility to other regions
Viewer request - from end user to cache
Origin request - from cache to server
Origin response - from server to cache
Viewer response - from cache to end user”

17
Q

Do Lambda functions stay available while code is being configured?

A

Yes Lambdas remain in a consistant state from one version to another and function remains even while the code it being updated

18
Q

What are the poll-based services that Lambda supports?

A

“*Poll-based services wait for an external device to check for rediness or state
Kinesis
DynamoDB
SQS”

19
Q

What is the alias feature?

A

“It allows lambdas to have different reference names
alias’s allow functions to call lambdas without having to know the specific version the alias is pointing to
Use case creating a PROD and DEV alias”

20
Q

In what case would a versioning number be reused?

A

“Never

even if a version is deleted new versions will have completely unique version numbers”

21
Q

Valid syntax for ARNs representing Lambda functions

A

“Qualified ARN: the function ARN with the version suffix

arn: aws:lambda:aws-region:acct-id:function:helloworld:$LATEST
arn: aws:lambda:aws-region:acct-id:function:helloworld:ALIAS

Unqualified ARN: the function ARN without the version suffix
arn:aws:lambda:aws-region:acct-id:function:helloworld”

22
Q

How can you grant cross-account permissions to use Lambda functions?

A

“If an application and the lambda are in the same AWS account no explicit permission is needed
Otherwise the AWS account that owns the Lambda function must add permission on their lambda in its policy
IAM- Cross account role
““Statement””: { ““Effect””: ““Allow””, ““Action””: ““sts:AssumeRole””, ““Resource””: ““arn:aws:iam:ROLE_NAME:role/UpdateApp””
Lambda function policy cannot be edited from the AWS console only the AWS CLI or AWS SDK”

23
Q

What is the maximum asynchronous invokation retries?

A

2

24
Q

How do you pass encrypted environment variables to a Lambda function?

A

“Encrypt data in tansit to the lambda via KMS key

decrypt the data via the decryption helper in the console”

25
Q

What actions are required by a Lambda execution role to write to logs?

A

“logs:CreateLogGroup

logs: CreateLogStream
logs: PutLogEvents”

26
Q

What are the CloudWatch metrics able to trigger Lambda functions?

A 
"Invocations
Errors
Dead letter error
Duration
Throttles
IteratorAge
ConcurrentExecutions
UnreservedConcurrentExecutions"
27
Q

What factors must be concidered when estimating cost?

A

“memory allocated to the Lambda function

total number of requests for the Lambda function”
