A company is using a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances to ingest data from on-premises data sources. The data is in JSON format and ingestion rates can be as high as 1 MB/s. When an EC2 instance is rebooted, the data in-flight is lost. The company s data science team wants to query ingested data in near-real time.
Which solution provides near-real-time data querying that is scalable with minimal data loss?
Which solution provides near-real-time data querying that is scalable with minimal data loss?
Publish data to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose with Amazon Redshift as the destination. Use Amazon Redshift to query the data.
Store ingested data in an EC2 instance store. Publish data to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose with Amazon S3 as the destination. Use Amazon Athena to query the data.
Store ingested data in an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. Publish data to Amazon ElastiCache for Redis. Subscribe to the Redis channel to query the data.

A company is using an Amazon S3 bucket to store data uploaded by different departments from multiple locations. During an AWS Well-Architected review, the financial manager notices that 10 TB of S3 Standard storage data has been charged each month. However, in the AWS Management Console for Amazon S3, using the command to select all files and folders shows a total size of 5 TB.
What are the possible causes for this difference? (Choose two.)
What are the possible causes for this difference? (Choose two.)
Some files are stored with deduplication.
The S3 bucket has versioning enabled.
There are incomplete S3 multipart uploads.
The S3 bucker has AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) enabled.
The S3 bucket has Intelligent-Tiering enabled.

A company is using a tape backup solution to store its key application data offsite. The daily data volume is around 50 TB. The company needs to retain the backups for 7 years for regulatory purposes. The backups are rarely accessed, and a week's notice is typically given if a backup needs to be restored.
The company is now considering a cloud-based option to reduce the storage costs and operational burden of managing tapes. The company also wants to make sure that the transition from tape backups to the cloud minimizes disruptions.
