Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate DEA-C01

Question #: 110
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate DEA-C01 Questions]

A retail company stores data from a product lifecycle management (PLM) application in an on-premises MySQL database. The PLM application frequently updates the database when transactions occur.

The company wants to gather insights from the PLM application in near real time. The company wants to integrate the insights with other business datasets and to analyze the combined dataset by using an Amazon Redshift data warehouse.

The company has already established an AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises infrastructure and AWS.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST development effort?

A. Run a scheduled AWS Glue extract, transform, and load (ETL) job to get the MySQL database updates by using a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connection. Set Amazon Redshift as the destination for the ETL job.
B. Run a full load plus CDC task in AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to continuously replicate the MySQL database changes. Set Amazon Redshift as the destination for the task.
C. Use the Amazon AppFlow SDK to build a custom connector for the MySQL database to continuously replicate the database changes. Set Amazon Redshift as the destination for the connector.
D. Run scheduled AWS DataSync tasks to synchronize data from the MySQL database. Set Amazon Redshift as the destination for the tasks.

Chatgpt Option B (AWS DMS) is the most suitable with the least development effort. AWS DMS supports continuous data replication with CDC capabilities, making it well-suited for near real-time data integration from MySQL to Amazon Redshift. It handles schema conversion and simplifies the setup process compared to custom development or scheduled ETL jobs. Given the existing AWS Direct Connect, AWS DMS can efficiently replicate MySQL updates to Redshift with minimal latency, meeting the company's requirement for near real-time insights integration. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
