Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 114 discussion

Do not store images in databases ;)... correct answer should be C

Solution C offloads the photo processing to Lambda. Storing the photos in S3 ensures scalability and durability, while keeping the metadata in DynamoDB allows for efficient querying of the associated information. Option A does not provide an appropriate solution for storing the photos, as DynamoDB is not suitable for storing large binary data like images. Option B is more focused on real-time streaming data processing and is not the ideal service for processing and storing photos and metadata in this use case. Option D involves manual scaling and management of EC2 instances, which is less flexible and more labor-intensive compared to the serverless nature of Lambda. It may not efficiently handle the varying number of concurrent users and can introduce higher operational overhead. In conclusion, option C provides the best solution for scaling the application to meet the needs of the growing user base by leveraging the scalability and durability of Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB.

Bad question - it does not specify a requirement for storing the photos nor does it specify where the old application does so. C is the best answer absent further requirements.

Ans C - as well explained by cookieMr (1yr 2mth ago): "Solution C offloads the photo processing to Lambda.

DynamoDB should not be used for storing images and files in general. Answer should be C.

DynamoDB is not designed for storing large objects like photos. Amazon S3 is the correct storage service for photos.

s3 bucket is good option to store images

C is correct answer.

C. DB is for data, not for photos. Kinesis doesn't store, it processes streaming.

DynamoDB items max size is 400kb. so A cannot be right answer. Correct Answer is C

Max size for DDB entry is 400KB.

Images (Object) should go in S3 and metadata should go in database (DynamoDB)

Solution C offloads the photo processing to Lambda. Storing the photos in S3 ensures scalability and durability, while keeping the metadata in DynamoDB allows for efficient querying of the associated information.

Solution C

i think is only a confusion of the admin, because it has more sense to store the photos in a S3 bucket is logic.

A does not store data.

I stopped at option C
