A DevOps engineer manages an AWS CodePipeline pipeline that builds and deploys a web application on AWS. The pipeline has a source stage, a build stage, and a deploy stage. When deployed properly, the web application responds with a 200 OK HTTP response code when the URL of the home page is requested.
The home page recently returned a 503 HTTP response code after CodePipeline deployed the application. The DevOps engineer needs to add an automated test into the pipeline. The automated test must ensure that the application returns a 200 OK HTTP response code after the application is deployed. The pipeline must fail if the response code is not present during the test.
The DevOps engineer has added a CheckURL stage after the deploy stage in the pipeline.
What should the DevOps engineer do next to implement the automated test?
A company's application uses a fleet of Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances to analyze and process data. The EC2 instances are in an Auto Scaling group. The Auto Scaling group is a target group for an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application analyzes critical data that cannot tolerate interruption. The application also analyzes noncritical data that can withstand interruption.
The critical data analysis requires quick scalability in response to real-time application demand. The noncritical data analysis involves memory consumption. A DevOps engineer must implement a solution that reduces scale-out latency for the critical data. The solution also must process the noncritical data.

An application running on a set of Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group requires a configuration file to operate. The instances are created and maintained with AWS CloudFormation. A DevOps engineer wants the instances to have the latest configuration file when launched and wants changes to the configuration file to be reflected on all the instances with a minimal delay when the CloudFormation template is updated. Company policy requires that application configuration files be maintained along with AWS infrastructure configuration files m source control.

A space exploration company receives telemetry data from multiple satellites. Small packets of data are received through Amazon API Gateway and are placed directly into an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) standard queue. A custom application is subscribed to the queue and transforms the data into a standard format.
Because of inconsistencies in the data that the satellites produce, the application is occasionally unable to transform the data. In these cases, the messages remain in the SQS queue. A DevOps engineer must develop a solution that retains the failed messages and makes them available to scientists for review and future processing.
