A data engineer must manage the ingestion of real-time streaming data into AWS. The data engineer wants to perform real-time analytics on the incoming streaming data by using time-based aggregations over a window of up to 30 minutes. The data engineer needs a solution that is highly fault tolerant.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company uses Amazon Redshift for its data warehouse. The company must automate refresh schedules for Amazon Redshift materialized views.
Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST effort?
A data engineer notices slow query performance on a highly partitioned table that is in Amazon Athena. The table contains daily data for the previous 5 years, partitioned by date. The data engineer wants to improve query performance and to automate partition management. Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company extracts approximately 1 TB of data every day from data sources such as SAP HANA, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, Apache Kafka, and Amazon DynamoDB. Some of the data sources have undefined data schemas or data schemas that change.
A data engineer must implement a solution that can detect the schema for these data sources. The solution must extract, transform, and load the data to an Amazon S3 bucket. The company has a service level agreement (SLA) to load the data into the S3 bucket within 15 minutes of data creation.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company stores customer data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company must permanently delete all customer data that is older than 7 years.
A company manages an Amazon Redshift data warehouse. The data warehouse is in a public subnet inside a custom VPC A security group allows only traffic from within itself- An ACL is open to all traffic.
The company wants to generate several visualizations in Amazon QuickSight for an upcoming sales event. The company will run QuickSight Enterprise edition in a second AW5 account inside a public subnet within a second custom VPC. The new public subnet has a security group that allows outbound traffic to the existing Redshift cluster.
A data engineer needs to establish connections between Amazon Redshift and QuickSight. QuickSight must refresh dashboards by querying the Redshift cluster.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company stores customer records in Amazon S3. The company must not delete or modify the customer record data for 7 years after each record is created. The root user also must not have the ability to delete or modify the data.
A data engineer wants to use S3 Object Lock to secure the data.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company uses AWS Glue Data Catalog to index data that is uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket every day. The company uses a daily batch processes in an extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipeline to upload data from external sources into the S3 bucket.
The company runs a daily report on the S3 data. Some days, the company runs the report before all the daily data has been uploaded to the S3 bucket. A data engineer must be able to send a message that identifies any incomplete data to an existing Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.
Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST operational overhead?
A data engineer needs to onboard a new data producer into AWS. The data producer needs to migrate data products to AWS.
The data producer maintains many data pipelines that support a business application. Each pipeline must have service accounts and their corresponding credentials. The data engineer must establish a secure connection from the data producer's on-premises data center to AWS. The data engineer must not use the public internet to transfer data from an on-premises data center to AWS.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company is migrating a legacy application to an Amazon S3 based data lake. A data engineer reviewed data that is associated with the legacy application. The data engineer found that the legacy data contained some duplicate information.
The data engineer must identify and remove duplicate information from the legacy application data.
