• Chose AC1

  A : Correct — Exponential backoff retries handle temporary throttling gracefully. When ProvisionedThroughputExceededException occurs, waiting progressively longer between retries allows the stream to recover and prevents overwhelming it further. C : Correct — Reducing request frequency and/or payload size directly addresses the throughput limit being exceeded. Smaller batches or less frequent calls stay within the provisioned shard capacity.

• Chose AC2

  A) Correct - Retries with exponential backoff help manage temporary spikes by delaying subsequent retry attempts progressively B) Eliminated - Switching to PutRecord would increase API calls, worsening the throughput issue C) Correct - Reducing request size or frequency directly addresses the throughput limits by spreading out the data more evenly. D) Eliminated - Amazon SNS is a messaging service, not designed for streaming data with high throughput like Kinesis.

  E) Eliminated - KCL consumers consume data from Kinesis streams; reducing their number will not address the write throughput limits causing the ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
