Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02

Question #: 397
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Questions]

A company runs an online marketplace web application on AWS. The application serves hundreds of thousands of users during peak hours. The company needs a scalable, near-real-time solution to share the details of millions of financial transactions with several other internal applications. Transactions also need to be processed to remove sensitive data before being stored in a document database for low-latency retrieval.
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

A. Store the transactions data into Amazon DynamoDB. Set up a rule in DynamoDB to remove sensitive data from every transaction upon write. Use DynamoDB Streams to share the transactions data with other applications.
B. Stream the transactions data into Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to store data in Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon S3. Use AWS Lambda integration with Kinesis Data Firehose to remove sensitive data. Other applications can consume the data stored in Amazon S3.
C. Stream the transactions data into Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Use AWS Lambda integration to remove sensitive data from every transaction and then store the transactions data in AmazonDynamoDB. Other applications can consume the transactions data off the Kinesis data stream.
D. Store the batched transactions data in Amazon S3 as files. Use AWS Lambda to process every file and remove sensitive data before updating the files in Amazon S3. The Lambda function then stores the data in Amazon DynamoDB. Other applications can consume transaction files stored in Amazon S3.

"near-real-time" Answer is C Firehose doesn't store data to DynamoDB so B is wrong

But KDS is real time NOT near real time(KDF)?

Here the main trick is Dynamo DB . You can not connect KDF to S3.

C - Lambda will remove the sensitive information as its being processes by Kinesis . Not B - Why would you store the data before you remove the sensitive data?

A.(X) B.(X) The destination of your Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. Kinesis Data Firehose can send data records to various destinations, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Redshift, Amazon OpenSearch Service, and any HTTP endpoint that is owned by you or any of your third-party service providers. The following are the supported destinations: * Amazon OpenSearch Service * Amazon S3 * Datadog * Dynatrace * Honeycomb * HTTP Endpoint * Logic Monitor * MongoDB Cloud * New Relic * Splunk * Sumo Logic https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/create-name.html

Kinesis data streams is a real time solution (~200 ms), data firehose is the one when looking for a near real-time solution. If anyone could provide any documentation where it says KDF cannot store in DynamoDB I would be greatful

Selected Answer: C

Its C. It's lambda that will do the requirement of removing sensitive data AND store the document in DynamoDB. Dont forget that Kinesis Data Streams also stores the data (for 24 hours as a default and up to 365 days), making it available to other applications. A and D are out. Near-real-time should be Kinesis. B is out. Kinesis, can only store in DynamoDB through Lambda. Even if it was possible to store directly in DynamoDB the option is flawed, because the document is being stored before removing the sensitive data.

( Additionally, transactions must be processed to remove sensitive data prior to being stored in a document database for fast retrieval.) C. is remove before storing

No expert here, but Firehose can't send data directly to DynamoDB, but it can indirectly by calling Lambda to insert the data into DynamoDB. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58351730/how-to-pass-kinesis-firehose-data-to-dynamodb-table I'm still going with C, but mainly because my mind is sore and I can't think any more.

Answer is C. https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/data-streams/ Amazon Kinesis Data Streams (KDS) is a massively scalable and durable real-time data streaming service. KDS can continuously capture gigabytes of data per second from hundreds of thousands of sources such as website clickstreams, database event streams, financial transactions, social media feeds, IT logs, and location-tracking events.
