AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
A company stores operational data in an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL cluster. Analysts need to join this data with large fact tables that already reside in Amazon Redshift for near-real-time ad-hoc reporting. The solution must minimize data movement and ongoing maintenance while allowing analysts to run standard SQL joins from their Redshift data warehouse. Which approach meets these requirements with the least operational overhead?
Schedule an AWS Glue ETL job to load the Aurora data into Redshift staging tables every 15 minutes and join the staging tables with the fact tables.
Set up an AWS Database Migration Service task with change data capture (CDC) to replicate the Aurora tables into Redshift and run joins on the replicated tables.
Create an external schema in Amazon Redshift that references the Aurora PostgreSQL database and use Amazon Redshift federated queries to join the remote tables with local fact tables.
Export the Aurora tables to Amazon S3 and use Redshift Spectrum external tables to join the exported data with Redshift fact tables.
Amazon Redshift federated queries let you create an external schema that maps directly to tables in Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and Amazon RDS. When analysts run a query in Redshift, the service automatically pushes down predicates to the remote database and streams only the required rows, so no periodic ETL jobs or data replication pipelines are needed. Redshift Spectrum is designed for data in Amazon S3, not for live Aurora tables. AWS Glue ETL jobs or AWS DMS change-data-capture tasks would satisfy the requirement but require building and maintaining pipelines that copy data into Redshift, introducing additional latency and operational overhead.
