Exam AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate DEA-C01 topic 1 question 3 discussion

AWS DataSync is primarily used for data transfer services designed to simplify, automate, and accelerate moving data between on-premises storage systems and AWS storage services, as well as between different AWS storage services. Its primary role is not for accessing third-party datasets but for efficiently transferring large volumes of data. In contrast, AWS Data Exchange is designed specifically for discovering and subscribing to third-party data in the cloud, providing direct API access to these datasets, which aligns perfectly with the company's need to integrate this data into their recommendation systems with minimal overhead.

Yeah, AWS want people to buy data from their marketplace. So, ... you know.

Should be AWS Data Exchange.

I will go with A. Kinesis Data Stram is more operational overhead.

A is correct

A is correct, DataSync doesn't really rely on API calls.

A is correct answer.

AWS DataExchange

options B, C, and D involve using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams or other services that may not be directly suited for integrating third-party datasets from external sources like AWS Data Exchange. These options might require additional configurations, data processing steps, or infrastructure management, resulting in higher operational overhead compared to directly leveraging AWS Data Exchange's capabilities through API calls (Option A).

AWS Data Exchange is a service that makes it easy to share and manage data permissions from other organizations

I will go with A.

There is no info or guarantee this third-party dataset is available in AWS to be part of a data-share, hence the more assertive answer is B
