AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question

A company runs an AWS Glue ETL job that is orchestrated by an AWS Step Functions state machine and calls several AWS Lambda functions. Auditors require a single, searchable log of every API call that changes the state of the pipeline. The data engineering team also needs to receive near-real-time CloudWatch alarms when a failure occurs but does not want to manage any servers or additional infrastructure. Which solution meets these requirements with the least operational overhead?

  • Create an organization-wide AWS CloudTrail trail that logs all regions, configure the trail to deliver events to a dedicated CloudWatch Logs log group, and use CloudWatch metric filters and alarms to detect failures.

  • Install and configure the CloudWatch Logs agent for each Lambda function and Glue job to stream logs into a central log group, then build metric filters and alarms on that group.

  • Enable AWS X-Ray tracing for Lambda and Step Functions, export trace data to Amazon S3 with Kinesis Data Firehose, and query the data with Amazon Athena for audits and alarms.

  • Configure each service to write its execution logs to a common Amazon S3 bucket, crawl the logs with AWS Glue, and use Athena queries and Amazon SNS to notify on failures.
