AWS Certified Data Analytics – Specialty DAS-C01 – Question071

A transportation company uses IoT sensors attached to trucks to collect vehicle data for its global delivery fleet.
The company currently sends the sensor data in small .csv files to Amazon S3. The files are then loaded into a 10-node Amazon Redshift cluster with two slices per node and queried using both Amazon Athena and Amazon Redshift. The company wants to optimize the files to reduce the cost of querying and also improve the speed of data loading into the Amazon Redshift cluster.
Which solution meets these requirements?

A.
Use AWS Glue to convert all the files from .csv to a single large Apache Parquet file. COPY the file into Amazon Redshift and query the file with Athena from Amazon S3.
B. Use Amazon EMR to convert each .csv file to Apache Avro. COPY the files into Amazon Redshift and query the file with Athena from Amazon S3.
C. Use AWS Glue to convert the files from .csv to a single large Apache ORC file. COPY the file into Amazon Redshift and query the file with Athena from Amazon S3.
D. Use AWS Glue to convert the files from .csv to Apache Parquet to create 20 Parquet files. COPY the files into Amazon Redshift and query the files with Athena from Amazon S3.

Correct Answer: D
