Section 1: AWS Lambda Execution Model & Architecture
This section contains advanced questions on AWS Lambda architecture and execution internals including ephemeral container lifecycle, container reuse, resource management, isolation, scalability, and performance optimization.
Section 2: Cold Starts vs Warm Starts
This section covers advanced AWS Lambda internals, focusing on the differences between cold and warm starts and methods to reduce cold start times for better performance.
Section 3: Concurrency & Scaling
This section tests advanced knowledge of AWS Lambda's internal architecture with a focus on concurrency, scaling behavior, provisioned concurrency, and reserved concurrency. The questions delve into how AWS Lambda auto-scales, manages cold starts, and balances cost with performance under varying load conditions.
Section 4: Resource Limits
This section contains 10 multiple choice questions that probe your knowledge on AWS Lambda's timeout configurations, memory settings (128MB-10GB), ephemeral storage (512MB-10GB), and execution limits. Analyze the trade-offs and internal behaviors of resource allocation and resource limits in serverless environments.
Section 5: Troubleshooting
This section includes questions to evaluate advanced knowledge and troubleshooting skills in AWS Lambda. It focuses on diagnosing performance issues, debugging errors, resolving connectivity challenges, and optimizing configurations to improve function reliability.
