AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 133

A company’s AWS Lambda function is experiencing performance issues. The Lambda function performs many CPU-intensive operations. The Lambda function is not running fast enough and is creating bottlenecks in the system.

What should a SysOps administrator do to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. In the CPU launch options for the Lambda function, activate hyperthreading.
• B. Turn off the AWS managed encryption.
• C. Increase the amount of memory for the Lambda function.
• D. Load the required code into a custom layer.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Increasing the memory for the Lambda function also proportionally increases the CPU power allocated to it, which can significantly enhance performance for CPU-intensive tasks. The other options do not directly address the performance bottleneck caused by CPU constraints; hyperthreading is not applicable to AWS Lambda, turning off encryption may not improve performance, and using a custom layer does not inherently increase processing power.
