Question 1

Which AWS database service is a fully managed data warehouse that enables you to run complex analytic queries on petabytes of structured data?

Correct Answer: Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift is the correct answer because it is a fully managed data warehouse service designed for running complex analytic queries on large volumes of structured data, up to petabytes in size. It is optimized for these types of workloads. Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database service best suited for applications needing high read/write throughput, not complex analytics. Amazon RDS provides managed relational databases, but is not specifically designed as a data warehouse for large-scale analytics like Redshift is. Amazon Neptune is a graph database service, which is a different type of database than a data warehouse.

Question 2

Which AWS service allows you to transfer data directly into and out of Amazon S3 or EBS using a physical storage device?

Correct Answer: AWS Snowball

AWS Snowball is the correct answer. It is a physical storage device that allows you to transfer large amounts of data into and out of Amazon S3 or Amazon EBS. AWS DataSync is used for online data transfer between on-premises storage and AWS, but not using a physical device. Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is used for capturing, transforming, and loading streaming data, not for data transfer using physical devices. AWS Storage Gateway provides integration between on-premises IT and AWS storage infrastructure, but does not involve using a physical storage device for data transfer.

Question 3

Which AWS database service is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability?

Correct Answer: Amazon DynamoDB

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. It is designed to handle high-throughput and low-latency applications at any scale. Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing service, not a NoSQL database. Amazon RDS supports relational databases, not NoSQL databases. While Amazon DocumentDB is a document database service, the question specifically asks about a NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability, which best describes DynamoDB.
