AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Exam Prep Course - 2021 UPDATED! - Lambda

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that allows users to run code without managing servers. It automatically scales and is billed based on compute time. Lambda supports multiple programming languages and offers automated management and monitoring. It is ideal for decoupling applications and offloading compute-intensive tasks to the cloud. Users can leverage Lambda for cloud-first deployments and shared functions across applications.

What is the primary advantage of using AWS Lambda?

• It offers a free database service.

• It provides unlimited storage for data.

• It allows you to run code without managing servers.

• It guarantees zero downtime for applications.

How does AWS Lambda handle scaling?

• It does not support scaling.

• It requires manual intervention to scale.

• It automatically scales based on demand.

• It scales only during off-peak hours.

How is AWS Lambda billed?

• By the number of functions created.

• By the number of users accessing the service.

• By the amount of storage used.

• By the compute time used.

Which of the following is NOT a language supported by AWS Lambda?

• Node.js

• Ruby

• Python

• Java

What is the first step in the Lambda use process?

• The customer builds the code.

• AWS selects the server.

• The code is automatically deployed.

• The customer calls the Lambda function.

Why might an organization choose to use AWS Lambda?

• To reduce the number of applications in use.

• To increase the number of physical servers.

• To offload compute-intensive tasks from local servers.

• To eliminate the need for cloud services.

What is a benefit of using Lambda functions across multiple applications?

• It increases the complexity of application architecture.

• It limits the scalability of applications.

• It allows for centralized management of functions.

• It reduces the need for code reuse.
