Question
A company uses an AWS Lambda function to process user uploads to an Amazon S3 bucket. The Lambda function runs in response to Amazon S3 PutObject events. A SysOps administrator needs to set up monitoring for the Lambda function. The SysOps administrator wants to receive a notification through an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic if the function takes more than 10 seconds to process an event.

Which solution will meet this requirement?
Options
A Collect Amazon CloudWatch metrics for the Lambda function to extract the function runtime.
Create a CloudWatch alarm to publish a notification to the SNS topic when the runtime exceeds 10 seconds.
B Collect Amazon CloudWatch logs for the Lambda function. Create a metric filter to extract the PostRuntimeExtensionsDuration metric from the logs. Create a CloudWatch alarm to publish a notification to the SNS topic when the function runtime exceeds 10 seconds.
C Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights to query Lambda logs for the function runtime. Set up a CloudWatch alarm based on the query result. Configure Amazon SNS to send notifications when function runtime exceeds 10 seconds.
D Configure an Amazon CloudWatch metric filter to capture the runtime of the Lambda function. Set the function's timeout setting to 10 seconds. Create an SNS subscription to alert the SysOps administrator if the function times out.

Question
A finance company uses AWS Secrets Manager to store Amazon RDS credentials that are periodically rotated. A database team must receive a notification when the credentials are rotated to ensure compliance with security policies.

Which solution will meet these requirements?
Options
A Enable notifications for secret rotation in AWS Secrets Manager. Configure Secrets Manager to publish notifications to the SNS topic when secrets are rotated.
B Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to match AWS CloudTrail events for the RotateSecret API call with a RotationSucceeded result. Configure the rule to route matching events to the SNS topic.
C Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to filter for RotationSucceeded events. Route notifications for all matches to the SNS topic.
D Use Amazon EventBridge to filter Amazon CloudWatch Logs for RotationSucceeded events. Route notifications for all matches to the SNS topic.

Question
A company uses AWS CloudFormation stacks to manage its infrastructure. The company’s developers commit infrastructure changes to the company’s Git repository. The company wants to automate updates to the CloudFormation stacks when developers commit changes. The company requires change set generation before deployment and notification of pending changes for approval. The solution must also minimize infrastructure maintenance overhead.

Which solution will meet these requirements?
Options
A Use CloudFormation Git sync to automatically deploy changes when developers push commits to the repository. Configure Amazon EventBridge to trigger an Amazon SNS notification after each deployment is complete.
B Create a pipeline in AWS CodePipeline with GitHub as the source provider. Configure a CloudFormation deploy action to create change sets. Use Amazon SNS to send approval notifications.
C Use AWS Systems Manager Automation to scan the Git repository for changes. Create a change set and deploy the CloudFormation stack.
D Create an AWS Lambda function that creates the CloudFormation change sets, runs the change sets, and waits for approval. Set up an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke the Lambda function when developers commit code to the Git repository.
