Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 710 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
Question #: 710
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions]

A company is running an Apache Hadoop cluster on Amazon EC2 instances. The Hadoop cluster stores approximately 100 TB of data for weekly operational reports and allows occasional access for data scientists to retrieve data. The company needs to reduce the cost and operational complexity for storing and serving this data.
Which solution meets these requirements in the MOST cost-effective manner?

  • A. Move the Hadoop cluster from EC2 instances to Amazon EMR. Allow data access patterns to remain the same.
  • B. Write a script that resizes the EC2 instances to a smaller instance type during downtime and resizes the instances to a larger instance type before the reports are created.
  • C. Move the data to Amazon S3 and use Amazon Athena to query the data for reports. Allow the data scientists to access the data directly in Amazon S3.
  • D. Migrate the data to Amazon DynamoDB and modify the reports to fetch data from DynamoDB. Allow the data scientists to access the data directly in DynamoDB.

C: S3 and Athena. "The company needs to reduce the cost and operational complexity for storing and serving this data. Which solution meets these requirements in the MOST cost-effective manner?" EMR storage is ephemeral. The company has 100TB that need to persist, they would have to use EMRFS to backup to S3 anyway. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-plan-storage.html

Athena would not replace a map reduce for data analysis. you might reduce costs but you are not applying the right tool for a current solution.

A - EMR is cheaper than S3+Athena for such huge storage Athena will cost $5 per query per TB of data scanned (5x100TB = $500 per full query): https://aws.amazon.com/athena/pricing/

Per the below article, EMR is way cheaper than ec2. I would choose A as I am not sure if the structure of hte data can be queried by Athena in cost-effective way https://blogs.perficient.com/2016/05/19/two-choices-1-amazon-emr-or-2-hadoop-on-ec2/

I will choose A AWS EMR because Amazon EMR makes it simple and cost effective to run highly distributed processing frameworks such as Hadoop, Spark, and Presto when compared to on-premises https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/when-should-i-use-ate.html

100TB EBS - 8.109$ S3 - 2.355$ You have saved 5.752$ This amount can be used for Athen. BTW. we don't know indexes, amount of data that is scanned. What we know is that tit will be: "occasional access for data scientists to retrieve data" I am choosing C as CORRECT answer
