    Triggering Lambda Functions with S3 File Uploads.

    • An AWS Lambda function to convert CSV files to Apache Parquet can be triggered automatically when a user uploads a CSV file to a specific S3 bucket through S3 event notifications with an event type of s3:ObjectCreated:* and a filter rule for the suffix ".csv".

    Optimizing Query Performance with Data Format and Compression

    • To speed up the Athena query performance, it's advised to change the data format from .csv to Apache Parquet and use Snappy compression.

    Real-Time Data Visualization

    • A company collecting sensor data and publishing to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams can display a real-time view of operational efficiency on a large screen using Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink to process the data, write it to an Amazon Timestream database, and use Grafana to build a dashboard.

    Automating Data Catalog Updates

    • A data engineer can automate daily updates to the AWS Glue Data Catalog for data stored in an S3 bucket by using AWS Glue crawlers, associating the crawler with an IAM role that includes the AWSGlueServiceRole policy, and configuring a daily schedule to run the crawler.

    Question #14

    • Scenario: A company loads transaction data into Amazon Redshift tables daily.
    • Objective: Track which tables have been loaded and which haven't.

    Step Functions for Parallel Processing

    • The Map state in Step Functions allows parallel processing of data files, applying specific transformations to each file.

    Data Deduplication

    • AWS Glue with the FindMatches machine learning transform effectively identifies and removes duplicate information from legacy application data, minimizing operational overhead.

    Accessing RDS from Lambda

    • To access a private RDS instance from a Lambda function, configure the Lambda to run in the same subnet as the RDS instance and attach the same security group to both, allowing access through the database port.

    Efficient Script Execution with API Gateway

    • Creating an AWS Lambda Python function with provisioned concurrency is the most efficient way to execute a Python script periodically via API Gateway.

    CloudWatch Logs Delivery to Separate AWS Account

    • To deliver CloudWatch Logs from a production AWS account to a security account, create a destination stream in the security account.
    • Grant CloudWatch Logs permission to put data into the stream using an IAM role and trust policy.
    • Configure a subscription filter in the production account.

    Cost-Effective Change Data Capture

    • Using an open source data lake format to merge data source with S3 data lake ensures cost-effective change data capture.

    Optimizing Athena Query Performance

    • Creating an AWS Glue partition index and enabling partition filtering can reduce Athena query planning time when dealing with large numbers of partitions.

    Real-Time Streaming Analytics

    • Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink (formerly known as Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics) provides a fault-tolerant solution for real-time streaming analytics, performing time-based aggregations over windows up to 30 minutes.

    Upgrading EBS Storage

    • Modifying the volume type of existing gp2 volumes to gp3 while adjusting volume size, IOPS, and throughput directly provides the least operational overhead for upgrading EBS storage without interrupting EC2 instances.

    • Scheduling: Schedule the AWS Glue job to run daily.

    Amazon Redshift Query Performance Monitoring

    • Objective: Monitor query performance for potential issues in an Amazon Redshift data warehouse.
    • Solution: Use the STL_ALERT_EVENT_LOG system table to record anomalies when the query optimizer detects performance issues.

    Ingesting CSV Data into an S3 Data Lake

    • Objective: Ingest structured CSV data into an S3 data lake for efficient access by Amazon Athena.
    • Solution: Create an AWS Glue ETL job to read the CSV data and write it in Apache Parquet format into the S3 data lake.
    • Rationale: Parquet format minimizes data retrieval for commonly queried columns, improving cost-effectiveness.

    Limiting Access to Employee Records in an S3 Data Lake

    • Objective: Restrict access to employee records in an S3 data lake based on HR department's location.
    • Solution:

      • Enable fine-grained access control in AWS Lake Formation and add data filters for each location.

    Troubleshooting AWS Step Functions and EMR Jobs

    • Objective: Identify why an AWS Step Functions state machine cannot run EMR jobs.
    • Solution:
      • Verify the Step Functions state machine has the necessary IAM permissions to create and run EMR jobs and access the required S3 buckets.
      • Check the VPC flow logs to ensure traffic from the EMR cluster can access the data providers and check for any security group restrictions.

    Data Persistence with EC2 Instances

    • Objective: Ensure data persistence for an application running on EC2 instances even if the EC2 instances are terminated.
    • Solution: Launch new EC2 instances using an AMI that is backed by an EC2 instance store volume. Attach an Amazon EBS volume to the instance to store the application data.
