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?
Correct Answer:B

A company has a data warehouse in Amazon Redshift that is approximately 500 TB in size. New data is imported every few hours and read-only queries are run throughout the day and evening. There is a particularly heavy load with no writes for several hours each morning on business days. During those hours, some queries are queued and take a long time to execute. The company needs to optimize query execution and avoid any downtime.
What is the MOST cost-effective solution?
Correct Answer:A

An online retailer needs to deploy a product sales reporting solution. The source data is exported from an external online transaction processing (OLTP) system for reporting. Roll-up data is calculated each day for the previous day’s activities. The reporting system has the following requirements:
Have the daily roll-up data readily available for 1 year.
After 1 year, archive the daily roll-up data for occasional but immediate access.
The source data exports stored in the reporting system must be retained for 5 years. Query access will be needed only for re-evaluation, which may occur within the first 90 days.
Which combination of actions will meet these requirements while keeping storage costs to a minimum? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:AD
A company stores its sales and marketing data that includes personally identifiable information (PII) in Amazon S3. The company allows its analysts to launch their own Amazon EMR cluster and run analytics reports with the data. To meet compliance requirements, the company must ensure the data is not publicly accessible throughout this process. A data engineer has secured Amazon S3 but must ensure the individual EMR clusters created by the analysts are not exposed to the public internet.
Which solution should the data engineer to meet this compliance requirement with LEAST amount of effort?
Correct Answer:C

A power utility company is deploying thousands of smart meters to obtain real-time updates about power consumption. The company is using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to collect the data streams from smart meters. The consumer application uses the Kinesis Client Library (KCL) to retrieve the stream data. The company has only one consumer application.
The company observes an average of 1 second of latency from the moment that a record is written to the stream until the record is read by a consumer application. The company must reduce this latency to 500 milliseconds.
Which solution meets these requirements?
Correct Answer:C
The KCL defaults are set to follow the best practice of polling every 1 second. This default results in average propagation delays that are typically below 1 second.
