The AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate (DEA-C01) exam validates your skills in data engineering on AWS. It is suitable for those who want to demonstrate their ability to design and implement data solutions.
A company needs to analyze large datasets in real-time. Which AWS service should they use?
AKinesis Data Streams
BS3 Select
CCloudFormation
DQuickSight
Explanation
Kinesis Data Streams enables real-time data processing, while S3 Select and QuickSight are for querying and visualization, not real-time analytics.
Q92
You are configuring a VPC with public and private subnets. Which service allows you to host a web application in a public subnet securely?
AElastic Load Balancer
BLambda Functions
CEC2 Instances
DNAT Gateway
Explanation
EC2 Instances can host web applications in public subnets, whereas ELB distributes traffic, NAT Gateway enables internet access for private subnets, and Lambda is serverless.
Q93
What happens when you set a bucket policy that denies all actions to no authenticated users in S3?
APublic access is granted
BAccess is denied to all
COnly admins retain access
DSpecific users gain access
Explanation
Setting a deny policy restricts access to all users, while the other options mistakenly imply that some access might still exist.
Q94
Which AWS service provides real-time data streaming capabilities?
AAmazon Kinesis
BAWS Data Pipeline
CAmazon S3
DAWS Glue
Explanation
Amazon Kinesis is specifically designed for real-time data streaming, while the others serve different functions.
Q95
A company needs to ensure their data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Which AWS service should they implement?
AAmazon EC2
BAWS Key Management Service
CAmazon RDS
DAmazon CloudWatch
Explanation
AWS Key Management Service provides key management for encryption both at rest and in transit.
Q96
You are configuring an AWS Lambda function triggered by an S3 bucket. What happens if the Lambda function fails?
AIt retries automatically unlimited times
BIt logs the error only
CIt discards the event
DIt can send notifications on failure
Explanation
Configuring a dead-letter queue allows error handling via notifications, while others do not appropriately manage failures.
Q97
Which AWS service is best for running serverless applications?
AAWS Lambda
BAmazon EC2
CAmazon RDS
DAmazon S3
Explanation
AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning servers, unlike the other options which require server management.
Q98
A company needs to analyze vast amounts of clickstream data in real time. Which AWS service should they use?
AAmazon QuickSight
BAmazon Kinesis
CAWS Glue
DAmazon Athena
Explanation
Amazon Kinesis is designed for real-time data streaming compared to the other services focusing on batch processing or analytics.
Q99
What happens when an IAM user tries to access a resource without appropriate permissions?
AAccess is granted automatically
BUser receives a permission error
CAWS routes request to admin
DAccess is granted via temporary credentials
Explanation
The user receives a permission error indicating insufficient access rights, differing from the others implying granting access or hasty resolutions.
Q100
Which service allows you to simplify managing encryption keys?
AAWS Key Management Service
BAWS Identity and Access Management
CAWS CloudTrail
DAWS Simple Notification Service
Explanation
AWS Key Management Service simplifies key management, while the others focus on access control or logging.
