Which AWS service can the company use to trace user requests as they (CLF-C02)
A company has a serverless application that includes an Amazon API Gateway API, an AWS Lambda function, and an Amazon DynamoDB database.
Which AWS service can the company use to trace user requests as they move through the application's components?
A. AWS CloudTrail
B. Amazon CloudWatch
C. Amazon Inspector
D. AWS X-Ray
Solution
Correct answer: D. AWS X-Ray.
AWS X-Ray is a service that provides a way to analyze and debug distributed applications, including serverless applications. It allows you to trace user requests as they move through the application's components, providing a detailed view of the request's path and performance.
AWS CloudTrail (A) is used for auditing and compliance, providing a record of API calls made within an AWS account. Amazon CloudWatch (B) is used for monitoring and logging, but it does not provide the same level of request tracing as AWS X-Ray. Amazon Inspector (C) is used for security assessment and compliance, but it is not designed for request tracing.
