Exam AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate DEA-C01 topic 1 question 8 discussion

Haha they copied this from the old DA Specialty. It's B https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/user-created-workgroups.html

B. Create an Athena workgroup for each use case. Apply tags to the workgroup. Create an IAM policy that uses the tags to apply appropriate permissions to the workgroup. Explanation: Athena workgroups allow you to isolate and manage different workloads, users, and permissions. By creating a separate workgroup for each use case, you can control access to query history, manage permissions, and enforce resource usage limits independently for each workload. Applying tags to workgroups allows you to categorize and organize them based on the use case, which simplifies policy management.

B is correct

B is correct.

The only other answer that's confusing is C But its not the one. Creating separate IAM roles for each use case and associating them with Athena would not provide the necessary isolation and access control for query processes and query history.

B is more granular
