Question

Your company has large data sets that need to be streamed directly into Amazon S3. Which of the following would be the easiest way for such a requirement?

A. Kinesis Data Streams

B. Kinesis Data Firehose

C. AWS Redshift

D. AWS DynamoDB.

Answer 1

Answer - B.

The AWS Documentation mentions the following.

Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is a fully managed service for delivering real-time streaming data to destinations such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Redshift, Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES), and Splunk.

Option A is partially valid, but since the stream of data needs to go directly into S3, Firehose can be used instead of Kinesis streams.

Option C is invalid because this is used as a petabyte warehouse system.

Option D is invalid because this is an AWS fully managed NoSQL database.
