Single answerYou are designing a large-scale application that will process high volumes of data and heavily utilize Amazon SQS queues. During testing, you encounter an error indicating that a service quota has been exceeded for SQS. What is the best course of action to resolve this issue?
- A
Submit a request to AWS Support to increase the SQS quota for your account.
- B
Upgrade to an Enterprise Support plan to automatically increase service quotas.
- C
Use the AWS Service Quotas console to request a quota increase for SQS.
- D
Modify the application to reduce the number of SQS requests to stay within the default quota.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When encountering service quota limits in AWS, the recommended approach is to request a quota increase using the AWS Service Quotas console. This allows you to scale your resources beyond the default limits to meet your application's requirements. Other options, such as contacting AWS Support or reducing usage, are either unnecessary or suboptimal for resolving this scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Submitting a request to AWS Support is not required for service quota increases; this process can be handled directly through the AWS Service Quotas console.
- B. Incorrect.
Upgrading to an Enterprise Support plan does not automatically increase your service quotas. Service quota increases must still be requested manually.
- C. Correct.
Using the AWS Service Quotas console is the correct approach to request an increase for the SQS quota. This is the recommended method for managing quotas.
- D. Incorrect.
While modifying the application to reduce SQS requests could help in some cases, it does not address the underlying issue of needing more capacity for the application. Requesting a quota increase is the better solution in this scenario.
