Q7: How is Amazon SQS different from Amazon SNS?
A7. Amazon SNS permits applications to send time-critical messages to multiple subscribers through a “push” mechanism, eliminating the necessity to periodically check or “poll” for updates. Amazon SQS is a message queue service utilized by distributed applications to exchange messages through a polling model and may be utilized to decouple sending and receiving components.

Q15: Give an overview of CI/CD Tools.
A15.
Continuous Integration(CI) and Continuous Deployment(CD) get rid of the traditional manual gate and implement fully automated verification of the acceptance environment to determine the scenario of whether the pipeline can continue to production or not.
Continuous Integration focuses on the software development life cycle (SDLC) of the individual developer in the code repository. This can be executed multiple times with the primary goal to enable early detection of integration bugs and errors.
Continuous Delivery focuses on automated code deployment in testing or production environment, taking the approval of updates to realize an automated software release process, and pre-emptively discovering deployment issues.
Q16: What is AWS CodeBuild?
A16. AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are able to deploy. With CodeBuild, you don’t need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. CodeBuild scales continuously and processes multiple builds concurrently, So your builds aren’t left waiting during a queue.
