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.
What happens when you define an IAM policy with a Deny effect without any Allow statements?
ANo permissions granted
BFull access granted
CLimited access granted
DResource access is monitored only
Explanation
A Deny statement overrides any permissions, resulting in no access granted; others incorrectly suggest some form of access.
Q22
Which service allows you to create and manage serverless applications?
AAWS Lambda
BAmazon EC2
CAWS Direct Connect
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
AWS Lambda is designed for serverless applications, while the others are not.
Q23
A company needs to analyze large datasets stored in S3 with minimal latency. What should they consider?
AAWS Data Pipeline
BAWS Glue
CAmazon Redshift
DAWS CloudFormation
Explanation
Amazon Redshift is optimized for fast query performance on large datasets.
Q24
You are configuring an IAM role with S3 read permissions. What happens if you attach an explicit deny policy?
ADeny overrides allow permissions
BRead access is allowed
CRole permissions remain unchanged
DIAM role is deleted
Explanation
Explicit deny policies take precedence over allow policies in IAM.
Q25
Which service can be used for ETL processes in AWS?
AAWS Glue
BAmazon S3
CAmazon RDS
DAmazon SNS
Explanation
AWS Glue is specifically designed for ETL tasks, while the others serve different purposes.
Q26
A company needs to ensure that its S3 buckets are only accessible from a specific VPC. What should the company configure?
AVPC Endpoint policy
BIAM user policy
CCloudFront distribution
DCORS configuration
Explanation
A VPC Endpoint policy restricts S3 access to the specified VPC, ensuring security.
Q27
You are configuring Amazon Redshift. What happens when you choose concurrency scaling?
AIncreases costs immediately
BScales storage automatically
CAdds temporary clusters as needed
DLimits query execution time
Explanation
Concurrency scaling adds temporary clusters to handle spikes in query load, improving performance.
Q28
Which service allows for serverless data warehousing?
AAmazon Redshift
BAmazon Athena
CAmazon EMR
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
Amazon Athena enables serverless queries on data in S3; Redshift is not serverless, EMR is for big data, and RDS is for relational databases.
Q29
You are configuring an IAM policy with the action 's3:PutObject'. What should you ensure regarding the resource?
AIt must be an IAM role
BIt should specify an S3 bucket
CIt requires a Lambda function
DIt can be any AWS resource
Explanation
The resource must be an S3 bucket for 's3:PutObject' action; IAM roles and Lambda functions are not applicable here, and any AWS resource does not apply.
Q30
A company is using Amazon S3 for storage. What happens when they delete an object with versioning enabled?
AThe object is permanently deleted.
BA delete marker is created.
CThe version is archived.
DAll versions are automatically deleted.
Explanation
With versioning enabled, a delete marker is created to signify that the object has been deleted while the actual data remains accessible; thus permanent deletion and auto-archiving are incorrect.
