AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
An analytics firm runs nightly AWS Glue ETL jobs that load PHI from Amazon S3 to Amazon Redshift. Policy requires: 1) every AWS API call retained for one year, 2) new or modified S3 objects with PHI trigger an alert, and 3) engineers can search job logs in seconds. Which service mix fulfils all needs while minimizing operations?
Create an organization trail in AWS CloudTrail with logs stored in S3 for 365 days, enable Amazon Macie on the S3 buckets and send Macie findings to Amazon EventBridge, and configure each Glue job to stream driver and executor logs to CloudWatch Logs where analysts query them using CloudWatch Logs Insights.
Enable VPC Flow Logs for all subnets, activate Amazon GuardDuty to scan the data lake, store Glue job logs as text files in S3, and query those logs with Amazon Athena when needed.
Turn on CloudWatch Contributor Insights to record API usage, deploy an AWS-hosted DLP SDK Lambda function to scan data, and publish CloudTrail events directly to CloudWatch Logs for searches.
Use AWS Config to capture API calls, configure Amazon Macie to analyze CloudTrail logs for PHI, and push Glue job logs into Amazon OpenSearch Service for Kibana exploration.
CloudTrail is the purpose-built AWS service for recording account-level API activity and can stream logs to an S3 bucket where lifecycle rules keep them for a year. Amazon Macie continuously inspects S3 objects for sensitive data such as PHI and publishes findings to EventBridge so alerts can be routed without custom code. AWS Glue can stream its driver and executor logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, and CloudWatch Logs Insights provides an interactive, low-latency query interface that lets engineers locate stack traces or performance metrics in seconds. The other options either fail to satisfy an explicit compliance need or introduce unnecessary services: VPC Flow Logs and GuardDuty do not capture API calls or classify S3 data for PII; CloudWatch Contributor Insights and a custom DLP SDK lack managed PHI detection; AWS Config does not log all API activity, and OpenSearch requires cluster management, contradicting the low-effort requirement.
