Which AWS service provides distributed tracing — visualising how a single request flows through multiple Lambda functions, API Gateway, and downstream services?
AAWS X-Ray
BAmazon Polly
CAWS Config
DAmazon QuickSight
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. AWS X-Ray
X-Ray is AWS's distributed tracing — instrument apps with the SDK or use auto-instrumented services (Lambda, ECS, EC2) to see request paths. QuickSight is BI, Config tracks config drift, Polly is TTS.
