Exam Question 715
A company is designing a message-driven order processing application on AWS.
The application consists of many services and needs to communicate the results of its processing to multiple consuming services.
Each of the consuming services may take up to 5 days to receive the messages. Which process will meet these requirements?
A. The application sends the results of its processing to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Each consuming service subscribes to this SNS topic and consumes the results
B. The application sends the results of its processing to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Each consuming service consumes the messages directly from its corresponding SNS topic.
C. The application sends the results of its processing to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue. Each consuming service runs as an AWS Lambda function that consumes this single SQS queue.
D. The application sends the results of its processing to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. An Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue is created for each service and each queue is configured to be a subscriber of the SNS topic.
Correct Answer
C. The application sends the results of its processing to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue. Each consuming service runs as an AWS Lambda function that consumes this single SQS queue.

Exam Question 717
A company has recently updated its internal security standards.
The company must now ensure all Amazon S3 buckets and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes are encrypted with keys created and periodically rotated by internal security specialists.
The company is looking for a native, software-based AWS service to accomplish this goal.
What should a solutions architect recommend as a solution?
A. Use AWS Secrets Manager with customer master keys (CMKs) to store master key material and apply a routine to create a new CMK periodically and replace it in AWS Secrets Manager.
B. Use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) with customer master keys (CMKs) to store master key material and apply a routing to re-create a new key periodically and replace it in AWS KMS.
C. Use an AWS CloudHSM cluster with customer master keys (CMKs) to store master key material and apply a routine a re-create a new key periodically and replace it in the CloudHSM cluster nodes.
D. Use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store with customer master keys (CMKs) keys to store master key material and apply a routine to re-create a new periodically and replace it in the Parameter Store.
Correct Answer
A. Use AWS Secrets Manager with customer master keys (CMKs) to store master key material and apply a routine to create a new CMK periodically and replace it in AWS Secrets Manager.
Answer Description
AWS Secrets Manager provides full lifecycle management for secrets within your environment. In this post, Maitreya and I will show you how to use Secrets Manager to store, deliver, and rotate SSH keypairs used for communication within compute clusters. Rotation of these keypairs is a security best practice, and sometimes a regulatory requirement. Traditionally, these keypairs have been associated with a number of tough challenges. For example, synchronizing key rotation across all compute nodes, enable detailed logging and auditing, and manage access to users in order to modify secrets.
Exam Question 718
