AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 316

Question

A company uses an Amazon EC2 instance to run a script to poll for and process messages in an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue. The company wants to reduce operational costs while maintaining its ability to process a growing number of messages that are added to the queue. What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Migrate the script on the EC2 instance to an AWS Lambda function with the appropriate runtime. AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system.
