[All Cloud Deployment and Operations Questions]

(Which two solutions should an administrator use to receive emails when a Lambda function returns an error? Choose 2 answers.)

AAmazon Simple Queue Service

BAmazon Simple Notification Service

CAmazon CloudWatch

DAWS CloudTrail

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

To receive emails when a Lambda function returns an error, the administrator should use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the function's logs and metrics (e.g., errors) and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) to send email notifications based on CloudWatch alarms. The WGU Cloud Deployment and Operations Study Guide (Section 4.3, CloudWatch and SNS) states, 'CloudWatch can detect Lambda errors via logs and trigger an alarm, which integrates with SNS to send email notifications to subscribed endpoints, ensuring timely error alerts.' SQS and CloudTrail are not designed for this notification workflow.

I feel like Amazon Simple Queue Service might be related to error handling, but I can't recall how it fits with receiving emails.

I think Amazon CloudWatch could be a good choice since it monitors logs and metrics, but I’m not completely confident.

I remember we discussed using Amazon Simple Notification Service for alerts, but I'm not sure about the second option.

I can't recall if CloudTrail is relevant here, but it seems more focused on auditing rather than notifications.

I think I saw a practice question that mentioned using SQS for error handling, so maybe A is correct too?

I'm a bit unsure, but I feel like CloudWatch might be involved since it monitors logs and errors.

I remember studying about SNS for notifications, so I think B is definitely one of the answers.
