Amazon Exam DAS-C01 Topic 3 Question 96 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's DAS-C01 exam

Question #: 96
Topic #: 3

A company currently uses Amazon Athena to query its global datasets. The regional data is stored in Amazon S3 in the us-east-1 and us-west-2 Regions. The data is not encrypted. To simplify the query process and manage it centrally, the company wants to use Athena in us-west-2 to query data from Amazon S3 in both Regions. The solution should be as low-cost as possible.

What should the company do to achieve this goal?

AUse AWS DMS to migrate the AWS Glue Data Catalog from us-east-1 to us-west-2. Run Athena queries in us-west-2.

BRun the AWS Glue crawler in us-west-2 to catalog datasets in all Regions. Once the data is crawled, run Athena queries in us-west-2.

CEnable cross-Region replication for the S3 buckets in us-east-1 to replicate data in us-west-2. Once the data is replicated in us-west-2, run the AWS Glue crawler there to update the AWS Glue Data Catalog in us-west-2 and run Athena queries.

DUpdate AWS Glue resource policies to provide us-east-1 AWS Glue Data Catalog access to us-west-2. Once the catalog in us-west-2 has access to the catalog in us-east-1, run Athena queries in us-west-2.

Hmm, I wonder if the company has any spare hamsters to power the new encrypted cluster. That's the only way option B is going to be 'the least operational overhead'.

Option A? Seriously? Who uses LZO encoding these days? That's like using a rotary phone to make a call.

D) Modify the existing Redshift cluster to use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) encryption. Wait for the cluster to finish resizing.

B) Export data from the existing Redshift cluster to Amazon S3 by using the UNLOAD command with the ENCRYPTED option. Create a new Redshift cluster with encryption configured. Load data into the new cluster by using the COPY command.

Option C is my pick. Creating a snapshot and restoring it to a new encrypted cluster is a good way to transition without losing any data.

I'd go with option D. Modifying the existing cluster to use KMS encryption is probably the easiest way to implement encryption without too much hassle.

Option B seems like the most straightforward solution. Exporting the data to S3 and then loading it into a new encrypted cluster is a pretty clean approach.

Yeah, modifying the existing cluster might be more complex compared to just exporting and importing the data into a new encrypted cluster.

Using AWS KMS encryption on the existing cluster seems like it would involve more steps and potential downtime.
