AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 284

Which endpoint is considered to be best practice when analyzing data within a Configuration Stream of AWS Config?

Answer options

• A. SNS
• B. E-Mail
• C. SQS
• D. Kinesis

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Config is designed to stream configuration changes directly to an Amazon SNS topic, making it the best-practice endpoint for capturing the Configuration Stream. Other consumers, such as Amazon SQS or AWS Lambda, can then subscribe to this SNS topic to process and analyze the incoming data. Direct streaming to E-Mail or Amazon Kinesis is not the native best-practice endpoint architecture for AWS Config Configuration Streams.
