Question 1

A financial company uses Apache Hive on Amazon EMR for ad-hoc queries. Users are complaining of sluggish performance.
A data analyst notes the following:
Approximately 90% of queries are submitted 1 hour after the market opens.
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) utilization never exceeds 10%.
Which solution would help address the performance issues?

Options :

A : Create instance fleet configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale in the instance fleet based on the CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric.

B : Create instance fleet configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale in the instance fleet based on the CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric.

C : Create instance group configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric. Create an
automatic scaling policy to scale in the instance groups based on the CloudWatch CapacityRemainingGB metric.

D : Create instance group configurations for core and task nodes. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale out the instance groups based on the Amazon CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric. Create an automatic scaling policy to scale in the instance groups based on the CloudWatch YARNMemoryAvailablePercentage metric.

Answer: D

Question 2

A data analyst is using Amazon QuickSight for data visualization across multiple datasets generated by applications. Each application stores files within a separate Amazon S3 bucket. AWS Glue Data Catalog is used as a central catalog across all application data in Amazon S3. A new application stores its data within a separate S3 bucket. After updating the catalog to include the new application data source, the data analyst created a new Amazon QuickSight data source from an Amazon Athena table, but the import into SPICE failed.
How should the data analyst resolve the issue?

Options :

A : Edit the permissions for the AWS Glue Data Catalog from within the Amazon QuickSight console.

B : Edit the permissions for the new S3 bucket from within the Amazon QuickSight console.

C : Edit the permissions for the AWS Glue Data Catalog from within the AWS Glue console.

D : Edit the permissions for the new S3 bucket from within the S3 console.

Answer: B

Question 3

An operations team notices that a few AWS Glue jobs for a given ETL application are failing. The AWS Glue jobs read a large number of small JSON files from an Amazon S3 bucket and write the data to a different S3 bucket in Apache Parquet format with no major transformations. Upon initial investigation, a data engineer notices the following error message in the History tab on the AWS Glue console: ''Command Failed with Exit Code 1.''
Upon further investigation, the data engineer notices that the driver memory profile of the failed jobs crosses the safe threshold of 50% usage quickly and reaches 90--95% soon after. The average memory usage across all executors continues to be less than 4%.
The data engineer also notices the following error while examining the related Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
What should the data engineer do to solve the failure in the MOST cost-effective way?

Options :

A : Change the worker type from Standard to G.2X.

B : Modify the AWS Glue ETL code to use the 'groupFiles': 'inPartition' feature.

C : Increase the fetch size setting by using AWS Glue dynamics frame.

D : Modify maximum capacity to increase the total maximum data processing units (DPUs) used.

Answer: B

Question 4

A company wants to enrich application logs in near-real-time and use the enriched dataset for further analysis. The application is running on Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones and storing its logs using Amazon CloudWatch Logs. The enrichment source is stored in an Amazon DynamoDB table.
Which solution meets the requirements for the event collection and enrichment?

Options :

A : Use a CloudWatch Logs subscription to send the data to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. Use AWS Lambda to transform the data in the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream and enrich it with the data in the DynamoDB table. Configure Amazon S3 as the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery destination.

B : Export the raw logs to Amazon S3 on an hourly basis using the AWS CLI. Use AWS Glue crawlers to catalog the logs. Set up an AWS Glue connection for the DynamoDB table and set up an AWS Glue ETL job to enrich the data. Store the enriched data in Amazon S3.

C : Configure the application to write the logs locally and use Amazon Kinesis Agent to send the data to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Configure a Kinesis Data Analytics SQL application with the Kinesis data stream as the source. Join the SQL application input stream with DynamoDB records, and then store the enriched output stream in Amazon S3 using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose.

D : Export the raw logs to Amazon S3 on an hourly basis using the AWS CLI. Use Apache Spark SQL on Amazon EMR to read the logs from Amazon S3 and enrich the records with the data from DynamoDB. Store the enriched data in Amazon S3.

Answer: A

Question 5

An IOT company is collecting data from multiple sensors and is streaming the data to Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK). Each sensor type has its own topic, and each topic has the same number of partitions. The company is planning to turn on more sensors. However, the company wants to evaluate which sensor types are producing the most data sothat the company can scale accordingly. The company needs to know which sensor types have the largest values for the following metrics: ByteslnPerSec and MessageslnPerSec. Which level of monitoring for Amazon MSK will meet these requirements?

Options :

A : DEFAULT level

B : PER TOPIC PER BROKER level

C : PER BROKER level

D : PER TOPIC level
