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 store large amounts of infrequently accessed data, which AWS service should they use?
AAmazon S3 Standard
BAmazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering
CAmazon S3 Glacier
DAmazon EBS

Q254
A company needs to analyze real-time streaming data. Which service should they use?
AAmazon Kinesis
BAWS Lambda
CAmazon S3
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
Amazon Kinesis specializes in real-time streaming analysis; Lambda is for event-driven computation, S3 is for storage, and RDS is for relational databases.
Q255
What happens when security groups are misconfigured to allow all traffic?
AInfinite bandwidth allocation
BIncreased security
CVulnerable to attacks
DAutomated instance scaling
Explanation
Allowing all traffic exposes instances to security threats; infinite bandwidth is not applicable, and increased security is false.
Q256
Which service allows you to automate deployments to AWS resources?
AAWS CodeDeploy
BAmazon S3
CAWS Lambda
DAmazon EC2
Explanation
AWS CodeDeploy is designed for automation of application deployments; the others do not specifically provide this functionality.

A company needs its data warehousing solution to support complex queries and analytical processing. Which AWS service should they use?
AAWS Glue
BAmazon Redshift
CAmazon S3
DAWS RDS
Explanation

Q258
You are configuring an IAM policy that denies access to a specific S3 bucket. What happens if another policy allows access to that bucket?
AAccess is granted due to the allow rule.

Which service primarily helps with versioning for data stored?
AS3 Versioning
BEC2 Autoscaling
CEFS Performance
DLambda Functions
Explanation
S3 Versioning allows you to save multiple variants of an object in the same bucket, while the others do not deal with versioning.
