Question

Kinesis Data Firehose - what happens to transformation & delivery failures?

(A) Records are retried indefinitely.
(B) Records are skipped and discarded.
(C) Records are backed up to an S3 bucket.
(D) All of the above.

Answer 1

In Kinesis Data Firehose, transformation and delivery failures result in records being skipped and discarded.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Kinesis Data Firehose, when a transformation failure occurs, the record is skipped and discarded. This means that the record is not retried indefinitely and will not be delivered to the destination. Similarly, when a delivery failure occurs, the record is also skipped and discarded, without being retried or backed up to an S3 bucket.
