A developer is creating a SAM template for a serverless application. They want to ensure that the same template can be deployed to both test and production environments with different configuration values (e.g., table names). What is the best practice?

Use parameters in the SAM template and pass different values during deployment

Use environment variables in the Lambda function to override configuration

Hardcode the configuration values in the template

Create separate SAM templates for each environment

What is the primary purpose of creating test events for a Lambda function in the AWS Management Console?

To set up environment variables for the function.

To deploy the function to a specific alias.

To simulate invocation events and verify the function's behavior with sample data.

To configure the function's execution role and permissions.

A developer is building an API Gateway REST API that integrates with a Lambda function. They need to test the integration locally before deploying to AWS. Which approach should they use to simulate an API Gateway request?

Use `sam local start-api` and send a request with the desired method, path, and headers

Deploy the API to a test stage and use the API Gateway console to test the endpoint

Create a test event in the Lambda console with a JSON body containing the request payload

Use `sam local generate-event api` and invoke the function with the generated event

A developer has an API Gateway API with a 'test' stage. They want to promote the tested API to production, but they need to ensure that the production stage has a different throttling limit. What is the best way to achieve this?

Deploy the same API to a new 'prod' stage and configure throttling for that stage

Use a usage plan to apply throttling to both stages

Update the 'test' stage's throttling and then rename it to 'prod'

Create a new API for production and copy the resources
