Currently, there is only one version: "2010-09-09" Three Caching Strategies - ANSWER Lazy Load Write Through TTL Snowball/Snowplow - ANSWER - Petabyte-Scale data transfers to AWS - AWS Provided device - Quickly move massive amounts of data in and out of the AWS cloud Write Through (caching strategy) - ANSWER Everytime the underlying database is written to or updated the cache is updated with the new information. SQS Long Polling - ANSWER Queues 1) This doesn't return a response until there is a message in the queue or the time limit expires 2) It checks every server to avoid false empty responses 3) Should always be considered for use as it can reduce cost and false empty responses Cloud Formation: Template Sections - ANSWER 1) AWSTemplateFormatVersion 2) Description 3) MetaData 4) Parameters 5) Mappings Cloud Formation: Resources - ANSWER 1) This is where you create different resources like S3, EC2, etc. 2) This section is REQUIRED Intrinsic Functions: FN::Join - ANSWER Intrinsic function 1) Concatenates elements, separated by a specific delmiter SQS FIFO Queues - ANSWER Queue - Allow for first-in-first-out ordering in the queue - Guarantee only-once delivery - Only supports 3000 messages/second (with batching) RDS-supported database Engines - ANSWER Amazon Aurora, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server DynamoDB: Scans (negatives) - ANSWER Database 1) The larger the data set in the table, the slower the performance of a scan 2) The more filters on the scan, the slower the performance 3) Return only filtered results 4) Only eventually consistent reads available DynamoDB: Limits (size) - ANSWER Database 1) 265 tables per region (increase on request) 2) Partition key length: 1 byte - 2048 bytes 3) Sort key length: 1 byte - 1024 bytes 4) Item size: 400kb including attribute name & value AMI API: "RegisterImage" - ANSWER 1) Occurs during the FINAL process of creating an AMI Build Spec File - ANSWER CodeBuild uses this file to determine how to build your deployment artifacts from your application code.
