How does API Gateway handle error responses from AWS Lambda functions?
- API Gateway forwards Lambda function errors to CloudWatch Logs
- API Gateway maps Lambda function error responses to HTTP error status codes
- API Gateway returns generic error messages for all Lambda function errors
- API Gateway terminates requests upon encountering a Lambda function error
API Gateway handles error responses from Lambda functions by mapping Lambda function error responses to appropriate HTTP error status codes, providing meaningful error messages to clients.
API Gateway provides __________ for AWS Lambda functions, allowing them to be exposed as HTTP endpoints.
- File storage
- HTTP APIs
- Message queues
- WebSocket support
API Gateway provides HTTP APIs for AWS Lambda functions, allowing them to be exposed as HTTP endpoints, enabling interaction with web clients.
__________ is a feature of API Gateway that allows you to define request and response transformations when integrating with AWS Lambda.
- API keys
- Authorization policies
- Mapping templates
- Rate limiting
Mapping templates in API Gateway allow you to define transformations for incoming requests and outgoing responses, facilitating integration with AWS Lambda.
AWS Lambda functions integrated with API Gateway can be associated with __________, allowing for fine-grained access control.
- Environment variables
- IAM roles
- Security groups
- VPC endpoints
AWS Lambda functions integrated with API Gateway can be associated with IAM roles, allowing for fine-grained access control based on the permissions assigned to the IAM role.
API Gateway can enforce __________ on incoming requests before allowing them to reach AWS Lambda.
- Authentication and authorization
- Data encryption
- Load balancing
- Rate limiting
API Gateway can enforce authentication and authorization on incoming requests before allowing them to reach AWS Lambda, ensuring only authorized users or systems can access the functions.
__________ is a feature of API Gateway that caches responses from AWS Lambda functions to improve latency and reduce costs.
- Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS)
- Request logging
- Response caching
- Traffic shaping
Response caching in API Gateway allows for the caching of responses from AWS Lambda functions to improve latency and reduce costs.
API Gateway allows for the creation of __________, enabling the decoupling of client applications from AWS Lambda implementations.
- API endpoints
- Direct integrations
- Lambda functions
- Webhooks
API Gateway allows for the creation of API endpoints, enabling the decoupling of client applications from AWS Lambda implementations.
Scenario: You are building a microservices architecture where multiple AWS Lambda functions handle different API endpoints. How would you design API Gateway to efficiently route incoming requests to the corresponding Lambda functions?
- Use API Gateway custom headers
- Use API Gateway query parameters
- Use API Gateway resource paths and HTTP methods
- Use API Gateway stage variables
By using API Gateway resource paths and HTTP methods, you can efficiently route incoming requests to the corresponding Lambda functions based on the request path and method.
Scenario: Your application requires secure authentication for API requests before they reach AWS Lambda. How would you configure API Gateway to handle authentication and authorization?
- Use API Gateway API keys
- Use API Gateway custom authorizers
- Use API Gateway usage plans
- Use AWS IAM roles
By using API Gateway custom authorizers, you can configure secure authentication and authorization for API requests before they reach AWS Lambda, ensuring controlled access to API endpoints.
Can you configure AWS Lambda to process S3 events across multiple AWS regions?
- No, AWS Lambda can only process S3 events within the same region
- No, AWS Lambda does not support processing S3 events across multiple regions
- Yes, by configuring Lambda aliases
- Yes, by configuring event source mappings
AWS Lambda supports configuring event source mappings to process S3 events across multiple AWS regions, enabling cross-region event processing.
