AWS Certified Alexa Skill Builder – Specialty — Question 26

An Alexa Skill Builder built a skill using AWS Lambda. The Lambda function works when running the code on a local machine with a runtime of 4.5 seconds, but during skill testing, the Builder receives an error response.
Which collection of steps will address the issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Change the Amazon Alexa default timeout to 5 seconds.
• B. Change the default timeout of the Lambda function to 5 seconds.
• C. Call the Progressive Response API and send a directive to reduce latency.
• D. Increase the size of the memory allocated to the Lambda function.
• E. Clone the Lambda function to another AWS Region.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Option B is correct because increasing the Lambda function's timeout allows it to complete its execution without timing out. Option E is also correct as cloning the function to another AWS Region could help in case of regional issues. The other options either do not directly address the timeout problem or are not applicable to the situation.
