Question 1

A smart home automation company must efficiently ingest and process messages from various connected devices and sensors. The majority of these messages are comprised of a large number of small files. These messages are ingested using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and sent to Amazon S3 using a Kinesis data stream consumer application. The Amazon S3 message data is then passed through a processing pipeline built on Amazon EMR running scheduled PySpark jobs.
The data platform team manages data processing and is concerned about the efficiency and cost of downstream data processing. They want to continue to use PySpark.
Which solution improves the efficiency of the data processing jobs and is well architected?
  • Question 2

    A bank wants to migrate a Teradata data warehouse to the AWS Cloud The bank needs a solution for reading large amounts of data and requires the highest possible performance. The solution also must maintain the separation of storage and compute Which solution meets these requirements?
  • Question 3

    A company is migrating its existing on-premises ETL jobs to Amazon EMR. The code consists of a series of jobs written in Jav a. The company needs to reduce overhead for the system administrators without changing the underlying code. Due to the sensitivity of the data, compliance requires that the company use root device volume encryption on all nodes in the cluster. Corporate standards require that environments be provisioned though AWS CloudFormation when possible.
    Which solution satisfies these requirements?
  • Question 4

    A company wants to run analytics on its Elastic Load Balancing logs stored in Amazon S3. A data analyst needs to be able to query all data from a desired year, month, or day. The data analyst should also be able to query a subset of the columns. The company requires minimal operational overhead and the most cost-effective solution.
    Which approach meets these requirements for optimizing and querying the log data?
  • Question 5

    A company has collected more than 100 TB of log files in the last 24 months. The files are stored as raw text in a dedicated Amazon S3 bucket. Each object has a key of the form year-month-day_log_HHmmss.txt where HHmmss represents the time the log file was initially created. A table was created in Amazon Athena that points to the S3 bucket. One-time queries are run against a subset of columns in the table several times an hour.
    A data analyst must make changes to reduce the cost of running these queries. Management wants a solution with minimal maintenance overhead.
    Which combination of steps should the data analyst take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
