It is A. QuickSight does not support S3 files with parquet format, Athena does it. For visualization is better a graph than a pivot table. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/when-should-i-use-ate.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/supported-data-sources.html

Agree with you. QuickSight supports S3. the data is already on S3. I don't see need for Anthena in this scenario.

No. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/supported-data-sources.html Parquet files not supported by Quicksight, must use Athena.

I am inclined towards C Heat maps and pivot tables display data in a similar tabular fashion. Use a heat map if you want to identify trends and outliers, because the use of color makes these easier to spot. Use a pivot table if you want to further analyze data on the visual, for example by changing column sort order or applying aggregate functions across rows or columns. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/heat-map.html

A or C? For me both are valid - QuickSight does not support S3 files with parquet format. - AWS says here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/pivot-table.html "Heat maps and pivot tables display data in a similar tabular fashion. Use a heat map if you want to identify trends and outliers, because the use of color makes these easier to spot. Use a pivot table if you want to analyze data on the visual."

Selected Answer: A
The correct answer is A. Here’s why: A is correct because Amazon QuickSight can be used with Amazon Athena as the data source to visualize sales data stored in Amazon S3 in Parquet format. Heat maps can be used as the visual type to quickly identify which sub-organization is the strongest performer in each country. Heat maps are a great way to visualize data that is organized in a grid format, such as sales data. C is incorrect because pivot tables are not the best visual type to use for this scenario. Pivot tables are great for summarizing and analyzing large amounts of data, but they are not the best way to visualize data.

Selected Answer: A
Correct answer is A as Quicksight can use Athena as data source to query the data in S3. Heat Maps would provide the required visual representation. Heat maps and pivot tables display data in a similar tabular fashion. Use a heat map if you want to identify trends and outliers, because the use of color makes these easier to spot. Use a pivot table if you want to analyze data on the visual. Option C is wrong as Heat Map would provide the required visual and would be preferred over Pivot tables as there is not need to analyze the data. Options B & D are wrong as Quicksight supports S3 as a data source, however it does not work directly with parquet file format.

Quickly identification is possible by HeatMap color coding feature. Pivot table is unnecessary here. Athena is required as data is stored in Parquet format.

Selected Answer: C
heat maps are for correlation (P.S.: heat maps do not use a world map) -> Pivot tables is correct here. quick-sight cannot directly query parquet files.

Ans is B. Heat map allows one simple chart to show the pattern for the whole thing easily. QuickSight can use S3 as data source. Creating a dataset using Amazon S3 files - Amazon QuickSight https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/create-a-data-set-s3.html

Ans is C. Heat map is to show co-relation and identify outliers. Here the requirement is very straightforward which is to identify best performer in each region. Hence Pivot table.
