Question 1

A company developed a new elections reporting website that uses Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to deliver full logs from AWS WAF to an Amazon S3 bucket. The company is now seeking a low-cost option to perform this infrequent data analysis with visualizations of logs in a way that requires minimal development effort.
Which solution meets these requirements?

A : Use an AWS Glue crawler to create and update a table in the Glue data catalog from the logs. Use Athena to perform ad-hoc analyses and use Amazon QuickSight to develop data visualizations.

B : Create a second Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to deliver the log files to Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES). Use Amazon ES to perform text-based searches of the logs for ad-hoc analyses and use Kibana for data visualizations.

C : Create an AWS Lambda function to convert the logs into .csv format. Then add the function to the Kinesis Data Firehose transformation configuration. Use Amazon Redshift to perform ad-hoc analyses of the logs using SQL queries and use Amazon QuickSight to develop data visualizations.

D : Create an Amazon EMR cluster and use Amazon S3 as the data source. Create an Apache Spark job to perform ad-hoc analyses and use Amazon QuickSight to develop data visualizations.

Answer: A

Question 2

A financial company uses Apache Hive on Amazon EMR for ad-hoc queries. Users are complaining of sluggish performance.
A data analyst notes the following:
Approximately 90% of queries are submitted 1 hour after the market opens.
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) utilization never exceeds 10%.
Which solution would help address the performance issues?

A : Create instance fleet configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale in the instance fleet based on the CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric.

B : Create instance fleet configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale in the instance fleet based on the CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric.

C : Create instance group configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric. Create anautomatic scaling policy to scale in the instance groups based on the CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric.

D : Create instance group configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale in the instance groups based on the CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric.

Answer: D

Question 3

A company ingests a large set of sensor data in nested JSON format from different sources and stores it in an Amazon S3 bucket. The sensor data must be joined with performance data currently stored in an Amazon Redshift cluster. A business analyst with basic SQL skills must build dashboards and analyze this data in Amazon QuickSight. A data engineer needs to build a solution to prepare the data for use by the business analyst. The data engineer does not know the structure of the JSON file. The company requires a solution with the least possible implementation effort. Which combination of steps will create a solution that meets these requirements? (Select THREE.)

A : Use an AWS Glue ETL job to convert the data into Apache Parquet format and write to Amazon S3.

B : Use an AWS Glue crawler to catalog the data.

C : Use an AWS Glue ETL job with the ApplyMapping class to un-nest the data and write to Amazon Redshift tables.

D : Use an AWS Glue ETL job with the Regionalize class to un-nest the data and write to Amazon Redshift tables.

E : Use QuickSight to create an Amazon Athena data source to read the Apache Parquet files in Amazon S3.

F : Use QuickSight to create an Amazon Redshift data source to read the native Amazon Redshift tables.

Answer: B,D,F

Question 4

A company wants to collect and process events data from different departments in near-real time. Before storing the data in Amazon S3, the company needs to clean the data by standardizing the format of the address and timestamp columns. The data varies in size based on the overall load at each particular point in time. A single data record can be 100 KB-10 MB.
How should a data analytics specialist design the solution for data ingestion?

A : Use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Configure a stream for the raw data. Use a Kinesis Agent to write data to the stream. Create an Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics application that reads data from the raw stream, cleanses it, and stores the output to Amazon S3.

B : Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. Configure a Firehose delivery stream with a preprocessing AWS Lambda function for data cleansing. Use a Kinesis Agent to write data to the delivery stream. Configure Kinesis Data Firehose to deliver the data to Amazon S3.

C : Use Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka. Configure a topic for the raw data. Use a Kafka producer to write data to the topic. Create an application on Amazon EC2 that reads data from the topic by using the Apache Kafka consumer API, cleanses the data, and writes to Amazon S3.

D : Use Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS). Configure an AWS Lambda function to read events from the SQS queue and upload the events to Amazon S3.

Answer: B

Question 5

A manufacturing company has many loT devices in different facilities across the world The company is using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to collect the data from the devices
The company's operations team has started to observe many WnteThroughputExceeded exceptions The operations team determines that the reason is the number of records that are being written to certain shards The data contains device ID capture date measurement type, measurement value and facility ID The facility ID is used as the partition key
Which action will resolve this issue?

A : Change the partition key from facility ID to a randomly generated key

B : Increase the number of shards

C : Archive the data on the producers' side

D : Change the partition key from facility ID to capture date

Answer: B
