Exam AWS-SysOps topic 1 question 530 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS-SysOps
Question #: 530
Topic #: 1
[All AWS-SysOps Questions]

A Content Processing team has notified a SysOps Administrator that their content is sometimes taking a long time to process, whereas other times it processes quickly. The Content Processing submits messages to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue, which details the files that need to be processed.
An Amazon EC2 instance polls the queue to determine which file to process next.
How could the Administrator maintain a fast but cost-effective processing time?

  • A. Attach an Auto Scaling policy to the Amazon SQS queue to increase the number of EC2 instances based on the depth of the SQS queue
  • B. Create an Auto Scaling policy to increase the number of EC2 instances polling the queue and a CloudWatch alarm to scale based on MaxVisibility Timeout
  • C. Attach an Auto Scaling policy to the SQS queue to scale instances based on the depth of the dead-letter queue
  • D. Create an Auto Scaling policy to increase the number of EC2 instances polling the queue and a CloudWatch alarm to scale based on ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible

Selected Answer: D
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible metric allows you to trigger scaling actions based on the number of visible messages in the queue. This helps ensure that the system can handle the processing load efficiently and respond to changes in message volume effectively.

Dead-Letter-Queue is for not messages that cannot be processed for some reason. I`ll suggest option D: ApproxMaxVisibleMessages, as this indicates that messages are not polled by the receiver and need more receivers.
