Question 46
A financial company uses Amazon S3 as its data lake and has set up a data warehouse using a multi-node Amazon Redshift cluster. The data files in the data lake are organized in folders based on the data source of each data file. All the data files are loaded to one table in the Amazon Redshift cluster using a separate COPY command for each data file location. With this approach, loading all the data files into Amazon Redshift takes a long time to complete. Users want a faster solution with little or no increase in cost while maintaining the segregation of the data files in the S3 data lake.
Which solution meets these requirements?
Question 47
A company is migrating from an on-premises Apache Hadoop cluster to an Amazon EMR cluster. The cluster runs only during business hours. Due to a company requirement to avoid intraday cluster failures, the EMR cluster must be highly available. When the cluster is terminated at the end of each business day, the data must persist.
Which configurations would enable the EMR cluster to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
Question 48
A smart home automation company must efficiently ingest and process messages from various connected devices and sensors. The majority of these messages are comprised of a large number of small files. These messages are ingested using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and sent to Amazon S3 using a Kinesis data stream consumer application. The Amazon S3 message data is then passed through a processing pipeline built on Amazon EMR running scheduled PySpark jobs.
The data platform team manages data processing and is concerned about the efficiency and cost of downstream data processing. They want to continue to use PySpark.
Which solution improves the efficiency of the data processing jobs and is well architected?
Question 49
A retail company has 15 stores across 6 cities in the United States. Once a month, the sales team requests a visualization in Amazon QuickSight that provides the ability to easily identify revenue trends across cities and stores. The visualization also helps identify outliers that need to be examined with further analysis.
Which visual type in QuickSight meets the sales team's requirements?
Question 50
A transportation company uses IoT sensors attached to trucks to collect vehicle data for its global delivery fleet. The company currently sends the sensor data in small .csv files to Amazon S3. The files are then loaded into a 10-node Amazon Redshift cluster with two slices per node and queried using both Amazon Athena and Amazon Redshift. The company wants to optimize the files to reduce the cost of querying and also improve the speed of data loading into the Amazon Redshift cluster.
Which solution meets these requirements?
