AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 181

One of your AWS Data Pipeline activities has failed consequently and has entered a hard failure state after retrying thrice.
You want to try it again. Is it possible to increase the number of automatic retries to more than thrice?

Answer options

• A. Yes, you can increase the number of automatic retries to 6.
• B. Yes, you can increase the number of automatic retries to indefinite number.
• C. No, you cannot increase the number of automatic retries.
• D. Yes, you can increase the number of automatic retries to 10.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because AWS Data Pipeline allows you to configure the number of retries, and setting it to 10 is permissible. Options A and B are misleading as they suggest specific or unlimited retry counts that are not generally supported, while option C incorrectly states that increasing retries is not possible at all.
