AWS Lake Formation is a service that helps you build, secure, and manage data lakes on Amazon S3. You can use AWS Lake Formation to register the S3 path as a data lake location, and enable fine-grained access control to limit access to the records based on the HR department’s Region. You can use data filters to specify which S3 prefixes or partitions each HR department can access, and grant permissions to the IAM roles of the HR departments accordingly. This solution will meet the requirement with the least operational overhead, as it simplifies the data lake management and security, and leverages the existing IAM roles of the HR departments12.

The other options are not optimal for the following reasons:

A. Use data filters for each Region to register the S3 paths as data locations. This option is not possible, as data filters are not used to register S3 paths as data locations, but to grant permissions to access specific S3 prefixes or partitions within a data location. Moreover, this option does not specify how to limit access to the records based on the HR department’s Region.

C. Modify the IAM roles of the HR departments to add a data filter for each department’s Region. This option is not possible, as data filters are not added to IAM roles, but to permissions granted by AWS Lake Formation. Moreover, this option does not specify how to register the S3 path as a data lake location, or how to enable fine-grained access control in AWS Lake Formation.

E. Create a separate S3 bucket for each Region. Configure an IAM policy to allow S3 access. Restrict access based on Region. This option is not recommended, as it would require more operational overhead to create and manage multiple S3 buckets, and to configure and maintain IAM policies for each HR department. Moreover, this option does not leverage the benefits of AWS Lake Formation, such as data cataloging, data transformation, and data governance.

Option B is correct because Amazon Q in QuickSight is the AWS feature built specifically for natural language interaction with business data. AWS documentation explains that Amazon Q in QuickSight lets users ask questions in natural language, generate summaries and data stories, and create visuals from author prompts. AWS Prescriptive Guidance also notes that users can generate insights with natural language prompts and that they do not have to write SQL queries or learn complex BI tooling. That matches the requirement that some analysts lack SQL knowledge and need to create reports frequently with minimal effort.

Option A is not the best answer because zero-ETL access addresses data movement and integration, not natural-language dashboard creation. Option C introduces another analytics platform and therefore more operational effort. Option D provides access to data, but federated querying still does not address the key requirement for natural-language dashboard and report generation for nontechnical analysts. The AWS-native feature that directly solves this problem with the least additional management is Amazon Q in QuickSight.
