Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to set the maximum requests per second in API Gateway throttling.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using descriptive strings instead of numeric values.

Confusing rate limit with connection limits.

The rate_limit property expects a numeric value representing the maximum requests per second allowed.

Complete the code to configure burst limit in API Gateway throttling settings.

AWS

api_gateway.throttling.burst_limit = [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using variable names instead of numeric values.

Confusing burst limit with rate limit.

The burst_limit is a numeric value defining the maximum number of requests allowed in a short burst.

Fix the error in the code to correctly apply throttling settings to a stage in API Gateway.

AWS

stage = api_gateway.create_stage('prod')
stage.[1] = api_gateway.throttling

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect property names like 'throttle_settings' or 'throttling'.

Missing underscores or plural forms.

The correct property name to assign throttling settings is throttling_settings.

hard

Fill both blanks to create a throttling policy with rate and burst limits in API Gateway.

AWS

throttle_policy = {
  'rateLimit': [1],
  'burstLimit': [2]
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping rateLimit and burstLimit values.

Using values that are too low or too high for typical throttling.

The rateLimit is set to 1000 requests per second, and burstLimit is set to 500 requests in a burst.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a usage plan with throttling and quota limits in API Gateway.

AWS

usage_plan = {
  'throttle': {
    'rateLimit': [1],
    'burstLimit': [2]
  },
  'quota': {
    'limit': [3],
    'period': 'MONTH'
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up burstLimit and rateLimit values.

Setting quota limit too low or too high.

The usage plan sets burstLimit to 500, rateLimit to 1000 requests per second, and a monthly quota limit of 100000 requests.
