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 securely manage access to its AWS resources. Which service should it use?
AAWS IAM
BAWS CloudTrail
CAWS CloudFormation
DAWS Inspector
Explanation
AWS IAM is specifically designed for access management, whereas others serve different purposes.
Q432
You are configuring an Amazon RDS instance with Multi-AZ deployment. What happens during a failover?
ANo downtime occurs for users
BThe primary instance is deleted
CUsers must reconnect manually
DA standby instance becomes primary
Explanation
In a Multi-AZ deployment, a standby instance automatically takes over as primary during a failover.
Q433
Which service provides managed Hadoop framework on AWS?
AAmazon EMR
BAWS Glue
CAmazon Redshift
DAWS Batch
Explanation
Amazon EMR is specifically designed for running Hadoop frameworks, while the others serve different purposes.
Q434
A company needs to encrypt data at rest in S3. What service should they use?
AAWS Lambda
BS3 Server-Side Encryption
CAWS Shield
DAmazon CloudFront
Explanation
S3 Server-Side Encryption is meant for data at rest, while others do not directly encrypt S3 data.
Q435
You are configuring IAM roles for an application. What happens when a user has two conflicting policies?
AAccess granted by most permissive
BAccess denied unless explicitly allowed
CAccess denied by default
DOnly admin can resolve conflicts
Explanation
IAM evaluates both policies and defaults to deny unless explicitly allowed.
Q436
Which AWS service can be used for real-time data ingestion?
AKinesis
BS3
CRDS
DCloudFront
Explanation
Kinesis specializes in real-time data ingestion, unlike others which serve different purposes.
Q437
A company needs to enforce least privilege access on its S3 buckets. What should it implement?
ABucket Policies
BS3 Replication
CCloudFormation Templates
DCloudTrail Logging

Q438
You are configuring Amazon Redshift for a data warehousing solution. What happens if you set the `WLM` to a fixed queue?
AIncreases concurrency limits
BDecreases query execution time
CLimits query concurrency levels
DEnables automatic resource scaling
Explanation
Fixed queues in WLM limit how many queries can run concurrently, impacting performance if limits are reached.
Q439
Which service is used for serverless compute in AWS?
AAWS Lambda
BAmazon EC2
CAmazon S3
DAWS Batch
Explanation
AWS Lambda allows you to run code without provisioning servers, while the others are not serverless compute services.
Q440
A company wants to analyze log data in real-time. Which AWS service should they use?
AAmazon S3
BAmazon Kinesis
CAWS Snowball
DAWS Glue
Explanation
Amazon Kinesis is ideal for real-time processing of streaming data, while the others do not focus on real-time analysis.
