A customer has an Amazon S3 bucket. Objects are uploaded simultaneously by a cluster of servers from multiple streams of data. The customer maintains a catalog of objects uploaded in Amazon S3 using an Amazon DynamoDB table. This catalog has the following fileds: StreamName, TimeStamp, and ServerName, from which ObjectName can be obtained. The customer needs to define the catalog to support querying for a given stream or server within a defined time range. Which DynamoDB table scheme is most efficient to support these queries?

A gas company needs to monitor gas pressure in their pipelines. Pressure data is streamed from sensors placed throughout the pipelines to monitor the data in real time.

A medical record filing system for a government medical fund is using an Amazon S3 bucket to archive documents related to patients. Every patient visit to a physician creates a new file, which can add up millions of files each month. Collection of these files from each physician is handled via a batch process that runs everу night using AWS Data Pipeline. This is sensitive data, so the data and any associated metadata must be encrypted at rest. Auditors review some files on a quarterly basis to see whether the records are maintained according to regulations. Auditors must be able to locate any physical file in the S3 bucket for a given date, patient, or physician. Auditors spend a significant amount of time location such files. What is the most cost- and time-efficient collection methodology in this situation?
