AWS Certified Associate DVA-C02 Exam Questions and Answers PDF

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights is a purpose-built log analytics tool that allows developers to run interactive queries directly against CloudWatch Logs. AWS documentation highlights Logs Insights as the fastest and most efficient way to search, filter, and analyze log data without exporting it.

Logs Insights queries can filter error messages, extract timestamps, and aggregate failure counts over specific time windows. This directly satisfies the requirement to identify when intermittent failures occurred and what errors caused them.

Manual browsing (Option A) and local downloads (Option C) are time-consuming and do not scale. Exporting logs to S3 and querying with Athena (Option D) introduces unnecessary infrastructure and operational overhead.

Therefore, CloudWatch Logs Insights is the most operationally efficient solution.

When sharing SSE-KMS–encrypted S3 objects across AWS accounts, AWS documentation states that three elements are required:

A customer-managed KMS key (Option E), because AWS-managed keys cannot be shared across accounts.

An S3 bucket policy (Option B) that grants the second account permission to access the objects.

A KMS key policy (Option C) that explicitly allows the second account to use the KMS key for decrypt operations.

Option A is incorrect because AWS-managed KMS keys cannot be shared. Option F uses SSE-S3, which does not use KMS and violates the encryption requirement. Option D is irrelevant because cross-account access does not require an S3 service role.

Therefore, the correct combination is B, C, and E.

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

Requirement Summary:

AWS AppSync API needs to invoke Lambda functions

Some Lambda functions are long-running

AppSync should return immediately, minimizing operational overhead

**Option A: AppSync + Lambda as data source using Event Mode

Correct: AWS AppSync supports asynchronous (event) invocation of Lambda data sources using Event Mode.

Event Mode means:

AppSync invokes Lambda asynchronously

Immediately returns a response to the client (typically a predefined payload or null)

Ideal for fire-and-forget workloads or when the response is not immediately needed

Option B: Increase Lambda timeout

Incorrect: This keeps AppSync waiting.

Even with increased timeout, synchronous invocations would block AppSync responses.

Option C: SQS queue + polling Lambda

Possible but too complex for this use case.

Requires additional infrastructure: queue + mapping + custom logic.

Higher operational overhead compared to built-in AppSync Event Mode.

Option D: Enable caching in AppSync

Irrelevant: AppSync cache is for optimizing repeated read queries, not for async workflows.
