AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question

Your team is packaging a serverless ETL pipeline with AWS SAM. The stack contains a Lambda function that writes to a DynamoDB table storing historical sensor data that must never be deleted, even if the stack is removed or redeployed. Without introducing additional services or CLI flags, which change to the SAM template satisfies this requirement according to AWS best practices?

  • Pass the --retain-resources flag to sam deploy when updating the stack.

  • Enable point-in-time recovery on the table and rely on automatic backups.

  • Define the table as AWSServerlessSimpleTable and set ProvisionedThroughput: Retain.

  • Add the DeletionPolicy attribute with value Retain to the DynamoDB table resource definition.
