An organization is currently using an Amazon EMR long-running cluster with the latest Amazon EMR release for analytic jobs and is storing data as external tables on Amazon S3. The company needs to launch multiple transient EMR clusters to access the same tables concurrently, but the metadata about the Amazon S3 external tables are defined and stored on the long-running cluster. Which solution will expose the Hive metastore with the LEAST operational effort?

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. When an anomaly is detected, the system must send a notification to open valve.

Which solution is the MOST cost-effective for responding to anomalies in real time?

A company uses Amazon Redshift for its enterprise data warehouse. A new on-premises PostgreSQL OLTP DB must be integrated into the data warehouse. Each table in the PostgreSQL DB has an indexed last_modified timestamp column. The data warehouse has a staging layer to load source data into the data warehouse environment for further processing. The data lag between the source PostgreSQL DB and the Amazon Redshift staging layer should NOT exceed four hours. What is the most efficient technique to meet these requirements?

An organization is designing an application architecture. The application will have over 100 TB of data and will support transactions that arrive at rates from hundreds per second to tens of thousands per second, depending on the day of the week and time of day.

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?
