Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Developer Associate

Question #: 393
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Developer Associate Questions]

A company needs an application that consumes logs from Apache HTTP servers at a large scale with near real-time processing. The logs will vary in size from 300 KB to 500 KB. As part of processing, the company needs to convert the logs to JSON format and then upload the logs to an Amazon OpenSearch Service cluster.

Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

A. Install the Amazon CloudWatch agent on the Apache HTTP servers. Configure the CloudWatch agent to push the logs to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue.
B. Install the Amazon CloudWatch agent on the Apache HTTP servers. Configure the CloudWatch agent to push the logs to the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream.
C. Install the Amazon Kinesis agent on the Apache HTTP servers. Configure the Kinesis agent to push the logs to the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream.
D. Create an AWS Lambda function that converts the logs to JSON format and pushes the results to the OpenSearch Service cluster. Consume the logs from the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue by using the Lambda function.
E. Create an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. Set the source as Direct PUT. Implement an AWS Lambda function to convert the logs to JSON format. Enable source record transformation on the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream for the Lambda function. Set the OpenSearch Service cluster as the destination.

In my opinion using the Amazon CloudWatch agent and CloudWatch Logs introduces an additional step of collecting the logs in CloudWatch Logs before processing them and forwarding them to the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. Although CloudWatch Logs provides real-time log collection, there might be some delay in the processing and forwarding steps, which could affect the overall near real-time processing requirement.

"at a large scale" indicates Kinesis. BE could be right, but it is not AWS "large scale" streaming of logs platform.

I think it does not make sense to use a Java app to collect logs in an Apache server, cloudwatch agent is ideal for that, then you bridge CloudWatch to Kinesis in AWS

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/writing-with-cloudwatch-logs.html download pdf, page 41 tells you how cloudwatch agent can write to kinesis firehose

There's a Kinesis agent for these needs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/writing-with-agents.html. Didn't know that. So CE should work.

Still can't find, it says that CloudWatch Logs Subscriptions can send data to Firehose, but not CW Agent

B. Install the Amazon CloudWatch agent on the Apache HTTP servers. Configure the CloudWatch agent to push the logs to the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. E. Create an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. Set the source as Direct PUT. Implement an AWS Lambda function to convert the logs to JSON format. Enable source record transformation on the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream for the Lambda function. Set the OpenSearch Service cluster as the destination. By installing the CloudWatch agent on the Apache HTTP servers, the company can push the logs to the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. The delivery stream can then be configured to automatically convert the logs to JSON format by using an AWS Lambda function, and then pushes the logs to OpenSearch Service cluster. This allows the company to consume logs from Apache HTTP servers at a large scale with near real-time processing.
