Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 343 discussion

Answer: A Keyword "X-ray" AWS X-Ray is used to trace and analyze user requests to API Gateway, providing an end-to-end view of each request and helping analyze latency. This meets the requirement for creating service maps and analyzing request latency.

A is right By setting the authorization to AWS_IAM for the API Gateway method, only users or roles with suitable permissions can access the endpoint. Using execute-api:Invoke permission ensures that only intended resources are accessible. Enabling API callers to sign requests with AWS Signature adds an additional layer of security, ensuring that only authorized parties have access to the resource. Using AWS X-Ray for tracing and analyzing user requests provides end-to-end visibility into each request, allowing the solutions architect to analyze latency, create service maps, and identify potential issues or bottlenecks in the system. This approach helps maintain a secure, efficient, and manageable API Gateway endpoint.
