Amazon Exam Amazon-DEA-C01 Topic 2 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's Amazon-DEA-C01 exam

Question #: 7
Topic #: 2

A company uses AWS Glue Data Catalog to index data that is uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket every day. The company uses a daily batch processes in an extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipeline to upload data from external sources into the S3 bucket.

The company runs a daily report on the S3 dat

a. Some days, the company runs the report before all the daily data has been uploaded to the S3 bucket. A data engineer must be able to send a message that identifies any incomplete data to an existing Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.

Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST operational overhead?

ACreate data quality checks for the source datasets that the daily reports use. Create a new AWS managed Apache Airflow cluster. Run the data quality checks by using Airflow tasks that run data quality queries on the columns data type and the presence of null values. Configure Airflow Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) to send an email notification that informs the data engineer about the incomplete datasets to the SNS topic.

BCreate data quality checks on the source datasets that the daily reports use. Create a new Amazon EMR cluster. Use Apache Spark SQL to create Apache Spark jobs in the EMR cluster that run data quality queries on the columns data type and the presence of null values. Orchestrate the ETL pipeline by using an AWS Step Functions workflow. Configure the workflow to send an email notification that informs the data engineer about the incomplete datasets to the SNS topic.

CCreate data quality checks on the source datasets that the daily reports use. Create data quality actions by using AWS Glue workflows to confirm the completeness and consistency of the datasets. Configure the data quality actions to create an event in Amazon EventBridge if a dataset is incomplete. Configure EventBridge to send the event that informs the data engineer about the incomplete datasets to the Amazon SNS topic.

DCreate AWS Lambda functions that run data quality queries on the columns data type and the presence of null values. Orchestrate the ETL pipeline by using an AWS Step Functions workflow that runs the Lambda functions. Configure the Step Functions workflow to send an email notification that informs the data engineer about the incomplete datasets to the SNS topic.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

AWS Glue workflows are designed to orchestrate the ETL pipeline, and you can create data quality checks to ensure the uploaded datasets are complete before running reports. If there is an issue with the data, AWS Glue workflows can trigger an Amazon EventBridge event that sends a message to an SNS topic.

AWS Glue Workflows:

AWS Glue workflows allow users to automate and monitor complex ETL processes. You can include data quality actions to check for null values, data types, and other consistency checks.

In the event of incomplete data, an EventBridge event can be generated to notify via SNS.

Alternatives Considered:

A (Airflow cluster): Managed Airflow introduces more operational overhead and complexity compared to Glue workflows.

B (EMR cluster): Setting up an EMR cluster is also more complex compared to the Glue-centric solution.

D (Lambda functions): While Lambda functions can work, using Glue workflows offers a more integrated and lower operational overhead solution.
