    D. Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition using AD Connector to authenticate using Active Directory. Configure Amazon QuickSight to use customer-provided keys imported into AWS KMS.

  • Question 185:

    An airline has been collecting metrics on flight activities for analytics. A recently completed proof of concept demonstrates how the company provides insights to data analysts to improve on-time departures. The proof of concept used objects in Amazon S3, which contained the metrics in .csv format, and used Amazon Athena for querying the data. As the amount of data increases, the data analyst wants to optimize the storage solution to improve query performance.

    Which options should the data analyst use to improve performance as the data lake grows? (Choose three.)

    A. Add a randomized string to the beginning of the keys in S3 to get more throughput across partitions.

    B. Use an S3 bucket in the same account as Athena.

    C. Compress the objects to reduce the data transfer I/O.

    D. Use an S3 bucket in the same Region as Athena.

    E. Preprocess the .csv data to JSON to reduce I/O by fetching only the document keys needed by the query.

    F. Preprocess the .csv data to Apache Parquet to reduce I/O by fetching only the data blocks needed for predicates.

  • Question 186:

    A company uses the Amazon Kinesis SDK to write data to Kinesis Data Streams. Compliance requirements state that the data must be encrypted at rest using a key that can be rotated. The company wants to meet this encryption requirement with minimal coding effort.

    How can these requirements be met?

    A. Create a customer master key (CMK) in AWS KMS. Assign the CMK an alias. Use the AWS Encryption SDK, providing it with the key alias to encrypt and decrypt the data.

    B. Create a customer master key (CMK) in AWS KMS. Assign the CMK an alias. Enable server-side encryption on the Kinesis data stream using the CMK alias as the KMS master key.

    C. Create a customer master key (CMK) in AWS KMS. Create an AWS Lambda function to encrypt and decrypt the data. Set the KMS key ID in the function's environment variables.

    D. Enable server-side encryption on the Kinesis data stream using the default KMS key for Kinesis Data Streams.

  • Question 187:

    A company wants to enrich application logs in near-real-time and use the enriched dataset for further analysis. The application is running on Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones and storing its logs using Amazon CloudWatch Logs. The enrichment source is stored in an Amazon DynamoDB table.

    Which solution meets the requirements for the event collection and enrichment?

    A. Use a CloudWatch Logs subscription to send the data to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. Use AWS Lambda to transform the data in the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream and enrich it with the data in the DynamoDB table. Configure Amazon S3 as the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery destination.

    B. Export the raw logs to Amazon S3 on an hourly basis using the AWS CLI. Use AWS Glue crawlers to catalog the logs. Set up an AWS Glue connection for the DynamoDB table and set up an AWS Glue ETL job to enrich the data. Store the enriched data in Amazon S3.

    C. Configure the application to write the logs locally and use Amazon Kinesis Agent to send the data to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Configure a Kinesis Data Analytics SQL application with the Kinesis data stream as the source. Join the SQL application input stream with DynamoDB records, and then store the enriched output stream in Amazon S3 using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose.

    D. Export the raw logs to Amazon S3 on an hourly basis using the AWS CLI. Use Apache Spark SQL on Amazon EMR to read the logs from Amazon S3 and enrich the records with the data from DynamoDB. Store the enriched data in Amazon S3.

  • Question 188:

    A company uses Amazon Redshift as its data warehouse. A new table has columns that contain sensitive data. The data in the table will eventually be referenced by several existing queries that run many times a day.

    A data analyst needs to load 100 billion rows of data into the new table. Before doing so, the data analyst must ensure that only members of the auditing group can read the columns containing sensitive data.

    How can the data analyst meet these requirements with the lowest maintenance overhead?

    A. Load all the data into the new table and grant the auditing group permission to read from the table. Load all the data except for the columns containing sensitive data into a second table. Grant the appropriate users read-only permissions to the second table.

    B. Load all the data into the new table and grant the auditing group permission to read from the table. Use the GRANT SQL command to allow read-only access to a subset of columns to the appropriate users.

    C. Load all the data into the new table and grant all users read-only permissions to non-sensitive columns. Attach an IAM policy to the auditing group with explicit ALLOW access to the sensitive data columns.

    D. Load all the data into the new table and grant the auditing group permission to read from the table. Create a view of the new table that contains all the columns, except for those considered sensitive, and grant the appropriate users read-only permissions to the table.

  • Question 189:

    A banking company wants to collect large volumes of transactional data using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for real-time analytics. The company uses PutRecord to send data to Amazon Kinesis, and has observed network outages during certain times of the day. The company wants to obtain exactly once semantics for the entire processing pipeline.

    What should the company do to obtain these characteristics?

    A. Design the application so it can remove duplicates during processing be embedding a unique ID in each record.

    B. Rely on the processing semantics of Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics to avoid duplicate processing of events.

    C. Design the data producer so events are not ingested into Kinesis Data Streams multiple times.

    D. Rely on the exactly one processing semantics of Apache Flink and Apache Spark Streaming included in Amazon EMR.

  • Question 190:

    A company launched a service that produces millions of messages every day and uses Amazon Kinesis Data Streams as the streaming service.

    The company uses the Kinesis SDK to write data to Kinesis Data Streams. A few months after launch, a data analyst found that write performance is significantly reduced. The data analyst investigated the metrics and determined that Kinesis

    is throttling the write requests. The data analyst wants to address this issue without significant changes to the architecture.

    Which actions should the data analyst take to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)

    A. Increase the Kinesis Data Streams retention period to reduce throttling.

    B. Replace the Kinesis API-based data ingestion mechanism with Kinesis Agent.
