A company wants to analyze and troubleshoot Access Denied errors and Unauthonzed errors that are related to 1AM permissions The company has AWS CloudTrail turned on Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST effort?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

This solution meets the following requirements:

It is the least effort, as it does not require any additional AWS services, custom scripts, or data processing steps. Amazon Athena is a serverless interactive query service that allows you to analyze data in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. You can use Athena to query CloudTrail logs directly from the S3 bucket where they are stored, without any data loading or transformation. You can also use the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the Athena API to run and manage your queries.

It is effective, as it allows you to filter, aggregate, and join CloudTrail log data using SQL syntax. You can use various SQL functions and operators to specify the criteria for identifying Access Denied and Unauthorized errors, such as the error code, the user identity, the event source, the event name, the event time, and the resource ARN. You can also use subqueries, views, and common table expressions to simplify and optimize your queries.

It is flexible, as it allows you to customize and save your queries for future use. You can also export the query results to other formats, such as CSV or JSON, or integrate them with other AWS services, such as Amazon QuickSight, for further analysis and visualization.

I'm not sure, but I think using AWS Glue and writing custom scripts could work too.

I disagree, I believe option D is better because creating a dashboard with Amazon QuickSight will provide a visual representation of the errors.

Exactly, we don't need to go all out with a big data processing solution. Athena is the simple, straightforward choice. Although, I do wonder if the exam writers are just trying to trick us with those other options...

I was thinking the same thing. The other options like Glue and Batch seem a bit overkill for this use case. And QuickSight is great, but building a dashboard might be more effort than we need here.

I agree, option C does seem like the way to go. Athena is designed for querying log data like CloudTrail, and it's serverless, so we don't have to worry about provisioning and managing any infrastructure. Plus, the SQL-like queries should make it easy to find the errors we're looking for.
