Amazon Web Services Data-Engineer-Associate Exam Dumps - Actual Questions Answers

The company is using a data mesh architecture with AWS Lake Formation for governance and needs to share specific subsets of data with different teams (marketing and compliance) using Amazon Redshift Serverless.

Option A: Create views of the tables that need to be shared. Include only the required columns.Creating views in Amazon Redshift that include only the necessary columns allows for fine-grained access control. This method ensures that each team has access to only the data they are authorized to view.

Option E: Share the Amazon Redshift data share to the Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroup in the marketing team's account.Amazon Redshift data sharing enables live access to data across Redshift clusters or Serverless workgroups. By sharing data with specific workgroups, you can ensure that the marketing team and compliance team each access the relevant subset of data based on the views created.

Option B (creating a Redshift data share) is close but does not address the fine-grained column-level access.

Option C (creating a managed VPC endpoint) is unnecessary for sharing data with specific teams.

Option D (sharing with the Lake Formation catalog) is incorrect because Redshift data shares do not integrate directly with Lake Formation catalogs; they are specific to Redshift workgroups.

The best solution for fast, event-driven processing of unpredictable file uploads is to use S3 event notifications, CloudTrail, and EventBridge to automatically trigger the AWS Glue workflow:

“You can configure S3 PutObject events to be captured by CloudTrail and forwarded through EventBridge to trigger an AWS Glue job or workflow. This allows Glue to begin processing as soon as the file arrives, with minimal latency.”

This option provides the lowest latency and least manual overhead compared to polling or scheduling solutions.

Option B is the best solution to meet the requirements with the least operational overhead because S3 Select is a feature that allows you to retrieve only a subset of data from an S3 object by using simple SQL expressions. S3 Select works on objects stored in CSV, JSON, or Parquet format. By using S3 Select, you can avoid the need to download and process the entire S3 object, which reduces the amount of data transferred and the computation time. S3 Select is also easy to use and does not require any additional services or resources.

Option A is not a good solution because it involves writing custom code and configuring an AWS Lambda function to load data from the S3 bucket into a pandas dataframe and query the required column. This option adds complexity and latency to the data retrieval process and requires additional resources and configuration. Moreover, AWS Lambda has limitations on the execution time, memory, and concurrency, which may affect the performance and reliability of the data retrieval process.

Option C is not a good solution because it involves creating and running an AWS Glue DataBrew project to consume the S3 objects and query the required column. AWS Glue DataBrew is a visual data preparation tool that allows you to clean, normalize, and transform data without writing code. However, in this scenario, the data is already in Parquet format, which is a columnar storage format that is optimized for analytics. Therefore, there is no need to use AWS Glue DataBrew to prepare the data. Moreover, AWS Glue DataBrew adds extra time and cost to the data retrieval process and requires additional resources and configuration.

Option D is not a good solution because it involves running an AWS Glue crawler on the S3 objects and using a SQL SELECT statement in Amazon Athena to query the required column. An AWS Glue crawler is a service that can scan data sources and create metadata tables in the AWS Glue Data Catalog. The Data Catalog is a central repository that stores information about the data sources, such as schema, format, and location. Amazon Athena is a serverless interactive query service that allows you to analyze data in S3 using standard SQL. However, in this scenario, the schema and format of the data are already known and fixed, so there is no need to run a crawler to discover them. Moreover, running a crawler and using Amazon Athena adds extra time and cost to the data retrieval process and requires additional services and configuration.
