Question 3
Question
Company B provides an online image recognition service and utilizes SQS to decouple system
components for scalability. The SQS consumers poll the imaging queue as often as possible to keep endto-end
throughput as high as possible. However, Company B is realizing that polling in tight loops is
burning CPU cycles and increasing costs with empty responses. How can Company B reduce the number
of empty responses?
Answer
-
Set the imaging queue VisibilityTimeout attribute to 20 seconds
-
Set the imaging queue ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds attribute to 20 seconds
-
Set the imaging queue MessageRetentionPeriod attribute to 20 seconds
-
Set the DelaySeconds parameter of a message to 20 seconds
Question 4
Question
You attempt to store an object in the US-STANDARD region in Amazon S3, and receive a confirmation
that it has been successfully stored. You then immediately make another API call and attempt to read
this object. S3 tells you that the object does not exist. What could explain this behavior?
Answer
-
US-STANDARD uses eventual consistency and it can take time for an object to be readable in a bucket.
-
Objects in Amazon S3 do not become visible until they are replicated to a second region.
-
US-STANDARD imposes a 1 second delay before new objects are readable
-
You exceeded the bucket object limit, and once this limit is raised the object will be visible.

Question 11
Question
A corporate web application is deployed within an Amazon VPC, and is connected to the corporate data
center via IPSec VPN. The application must authenticate against the on-premise LDAP server. Once
authenticated, logged-in users can only access an S3 keyspace specific to the user.
Answer
-
The application authenticates against LDAP. The application then calls the IAM Security Service to login to IAM using the LDAP credentials. The application can use the IAM temporary credentials to access the appropriate S3 bucket.
-
The application authenticates against LDAP, and retrieves the name of an IAM role associated with the user. The application then calls the IAM Security Token Service to assume that IAM Role. The application can use the temporary credentials to access the appropriate S3 bucket.
-
The application authenticates against IAM Security Token Service using the LDAP credentials. The application uses those temporary AWS security credentials to access the appropriate S3 bucket.
-
Develop an identity broker which authenticates against LDAP, and then calls IAM Security Token Service to get IAM federated user credentials. The application calls the identity broker to get IAM federated user credentials with access to the appropriate S3 bucket.
