Wait, are we really putting suppliers on probation? That seems risky!

I disagree, B is too harsh without giving them a chance.

Hmm, the question mentions that the Lambda logs show no errors or failures, so I'm not sure the frontend logs will be helpful. I think I'll focus on the Lambda side and create a dead-letter queue to see if there are any failed function invocations that I can troubleshoot.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I thought groups were related to EC2 instances, not IAM. I'll have to review my notes on IAM before answering this one.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of some of these options. I'll need to read them carefully and make sure I understand the differences between them before selecting the correct ones.

Iâ€™m leaning towards option D, â€œAll of the above.â€ It feels like all of those could be used to misappropriate assets, but Iâ€™d need to double-check.
