Question 1

A medical company has a system with sensor devices that read metrics and send them in real time to an Amazon Kinesis data stream. The Kinesis data stream has multiple shards. The company needs to calculate the average value of a numeric metric every second and set an alarm for whenever the value is above one threshold or below another threshold. The alarm must be sent to Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) in less than 30 seconds.
Which architecture meets these requirements?

Options :

A : Use an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to read the data from the Kinesis data stream with an AWS Lambda transformation function that calculates the average per second and sends the alarm to Amazon SNS.

B : Use an AWS Lambda function to read from the Kinesis data stream to calculate the average per second and sent the alarm to Amazon SNS.

C : Use an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose deliver stream to read the data from the Kinesis data stream and store it on Amazon S3. Have Amazon S3 trigger an AWS Lambda function that calculates the average per second and sends the alarm to Amazon SNS.

D : Use an Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics application to read from the Kinesis data stream and calculate the average per second. Send the results to an AWS Lambda function that sends the alarm to Amazon SNS.

Answer: D

Question 2

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?

Options :

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 3

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?

Options :

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.

Answer: A

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?

Options :

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

An online retail company with millions of users around the globe wants to improve its ecommerce analytics capabilities. Currently, clickstream data is uploaded directly to Amazon S3 as compressed files. Several times each day, an application running on Amazon EC2 processes the data and makes search options and reports available for visualization by editors and marketers. The company wants to make website clicks and aggregated data available to editors and marketers in minutes to enable them to connect with users more effectively.
Which options will help meet these requirements in the MOST efficient way? (Choose two.)

Options :

A : Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to upload compressed and batched clickstream records to Amazon Elasticsearch Service.

B : Upload clickstream records to Amazon S3 as compressed files. Then use AWS Lambda to send data to Amazon Elasticsearch Service from Amazon S3.

C : Use Amazon Elasticsearch Service deployed on Amazon EC2 to aggregate, filter, and process the data. Refresh content performance dashboards in near-real time.

D : Use Kibana to aggregate, filter, and visualize the data stored in Amazon Elasticsearch Service. Refresh content performance dashboards in near-real time.

E : Upload clickstream records from Amazon S3 to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and use a Kinesis Data Streams consumer to send records to Amazon Elasticsearch Service.
