 Q4. How does AWS Lambda handle failure during event processing?Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ans. In AWS Lambda we can run a function in synchronous or asynchronous mode. In synchronous mode, if AWS Lambda function fails, then it will just give an exception to the calling application. In asynchronous mode, if AWS Lambda function fails then it will retry the same function at least 3 times.If AWS Lambda is running in response to an event in Amazon DynamoDB or Amazon Kinesis, then the event will be retried till the Lambda function succeeds or the data expires. In DynamoDB or Kinesis, AWS maintains data for at least 24 hours.

 Q12. What would you do if you see an error thrown by a lambda function as "Access Denied" while doing something with S3 ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ans. Just like people , AWS resources too have execution roles or permissions. Seems like in such a situation Lambda function may not have sufficient privileges to perform operations on S3. For example - The execution role of Lambda may just have read permissions on S3 and we may be trying to perform PutObject operation.

 Q27. What is a sandbox ?Server
Ans. A sandbox is a testing environment that isolates untested code changes and outright experimentation from the production environment or repository.

It's an environment that's usually reserved for integration testing with external clients and modules with mock code so as to enable some sort of integration testing before the actual project is deployed.

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     server  sandbox


 Q28. Difference between Load Balancing and Failover Clustering ?Server
Ans. Load Balancing is a provision to improve performance by reducing load on a single machine / server. Traffic or load is distributed among different machines and hence resulting in better performance / response time by leveraging more resources.

Failover is a provision to achieve better availability by switching to a backup server in case of failure.

Load Balancing aims as improving performance whereas failover aims at improving availability.

We can achieve both together by using a Load Balancing system which will isolate an instance in case of it's failure.

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     load balancing  failover  load balancing vs failover  production support


 Q29. What do you understand by "Scaling Trigger" ?Server
Ans. It's a configuration for auto scaling environment that specify the attributes / conditions for scaling instances up and down. For example - We may like environment to scale up when the number of requests / sec increases a particular threshold and scale down when it decreases below a threshold.

   Like         Discuss         Correct / Improve     AWS  Amazon AWS  Amazon EC2  Elastic Beanstalk  Auto Scaling  Scaling Trigger  production support


 Q30. What is the difference between "Manual Scaling" and "Auto Scaling" ? Server
Ans. Manual scaling is the process of scaling instances up and down in a an enviornment manually by observing the scaling trigger whereas Auto scaling is the process wherein a Trigger condition specified as a scaling trigger will trigger scaling up and down of instances.

for example - If an organization has a policy of scaling up if requests / sec / instance exceeds 10000, Operations team will have to manually monitor the metric and they can request scaling up and down as the need arise. Manual scaling offers flexibility as team can scale on the basis of combination of factors and can take decision on flyby requires continuous monitoring.

The same trigger can be fed as triggering policy to the environment and can be taken care by the system. This requires availability of such triggering policy within the environment configuration but as it's automatically handled, requires no supervision.
