AWS Certified Developer Associate Practice Test 2

Correct answer - "Change the setting for message retention" : Amazon SQS automatically deletes messages that have been in a queue for more than maximum message retention period. The default message retention period is 4 days. However, you can set the message retention period to a value from 60 seconds to 1,209,600 seconds (14 days) using the SetQueueAttributes action.

"The maximum retention of messages is 7 days, therefore you cannot have 12 days retention" - The maximum is 14 days

"Enable Long Polling" - Long polling helps reduce the cost of using Amazon SQS by eliminating the number of empty responses

"Use a FIFO queue" - Designed to enhance messaging between applications when the order of operations and events is critical
