Three teams of data analysts use Apache Hive on an Amazon EMR cluster with the EMR File System (EMRFS) to query data stored within each teams Amazon S3 bucket. The EMR cluster has Kerberos enabled and is configured to authenticate users from the corporate Active Directory. The data is highly sensitive, so access must be limited to the members of each team.
Which steps will satisfy the security requirements?
- A . For the EMR cluster Amazon EC2 instances, create a service role that grants no access to Amazon S3. Create three additional IAM roles, each granting access to each team’s specific bucket. Add the additional IAM roles to the cluster’s EMR role for the EC2 trust policy. Create a security configuration mapping for the additional IAM roles to Active Directory user groups for each team.
- B . For the EMR cluster Amazon EC2 instances, create a service role that grants no access to Amazon S3. Create three additional IAM roles, each granting access to each team’s specific bucket. Add the service role for the EMR cluster EC2 instances to the trust policies for the additional IAM roles. Create a security configuration mapping for the additional IAM roles to Active Directory user groups for each team.
- C . For the EMR cluster Amazon EC2 instances, create a service role that grants full access to Amazon S3. Create three additional IAM roles, each granting access to each team’s specific bucket. Add the service role for the EMR cluster EC2 instances to the trust polices for the additional IAM roles. Create a security configuration mapping for the additional IAM roles to Active Directory user groups for each team.
- D . For the EMR cluster Amazon EC2 instances, create a service role that grants full access to Amazon S3. Create three additional IAM roles, each granting access to each team’s specific bucket. Add the service role for the EMR cluster EC2 instances to the trust polices for the base IAM roles. Create a security configuration mapping for the additional IAM roles to Active Directory user groups for each team.
A company is planning to create a data lake in Amazon S3. The company wants to create tiered storage based on access patterns and cost objectives. The solution must include support for JDBC connections from legacy clients, metadata management that allows federation for access control, and batch-based ETL using PySpark and Scala. Operational management should be limited.

A company wants to optimize the cost of its data and analytics platform. The company is ingesting a number of .csv and JSON files in Amazon S3 from various data sources. Incoming data is expected to be 50 GB each day. The company is using Amazon Athena to query the raw data in Amazon S3 directly. Most queries aggregate data from the past 12 months, and data that is older than 5 years is infrequently queried. The typical query scans about 500 MB of data and is expected to return results in less than 1 minute. The raw data must be retained indefinitely for compliance requirements.
Which solution meets the company’s requirements?
- A . Use an AWS Glue ETL job to compress, partition, and convert the data into a columnar data format. Use Athena to query the processed dataset. Configure a lifecycle policy to move the processed data into the Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class 5 years after object creation. Configure a second lifecycle policy to move the raw data into Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term archival 7 days after object creation.
- B . Use an AWS Glue ETL job to partition and convert the data into a row-based data format. Use Athena to query the processed dataset. Configure a lifecycle policy to move the data into the Amazon S3 Standard- Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class 5 years after object creation. Configure a second lifecycle policy to move the raw data into Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term archival 7 days after object creation.
- C . Use an AWS Glue ETL job to compress, partition, and convert the data into a columnar data format. Use Athena to query the processed dataset. Configure a lifecycle policy to move the processed data into the Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class 5 years after the object was last accessed. Configure a second lifecycle policy to move the raw data into Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term archival 7 days after the last date the object was accessed.
- D . Use an AWS Glue ETL job to partition and convert the data into a row-based data format. Use Athena to query the processed dataset. Configure a lifecycle policy to move the data into the Amazon S3 Standard- Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class 5 years after the object was last accessed. Configure a second lifecycle policy to move the raw data into Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term archival 7 days after the last date the object was accessed.
A regional energy company collects voltage data from sensors attached to buildings. To address any known dangerous conditions, the company wants to be alerted when a sequence of two voltage drops is detected within 10 minutes of a voltage spike at the same building. It is important to ensure that all messages are delivered as quickly as possible. The system must be fully managed and highly available. The company also needs a solution that will automatically scale up as it covers additional cites with this monitoring feature. The alerting system is subscribed to an Amazon SNS topic for remediation.
Which solution meets these requirements?
