The requirement is to manage the size of an Amazon DynamoDB table by automatically deleting data older than 1 month without disrupting ongoing read or write operations. The simplest and most maintenance-free solution is to use DynamoDB Time-to-Live (TTL).

Option A: Use the DynamoDB TTL feature to automatically expire data based on timestamps.DynamoDB TTL allows you to specify an attribute (e.g., a timestamp) that defines when items in the table should expire. After the expiration time, DynamoDB automatically deletes the items, freeing up storage space and keeping the table size under control without manual intervention or disruptions to ongoing operations.

Other options involve higher maintenance and manual scheduling or scanning operations, which increase complexity unnecessarily compared to the native TTL feature.

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.

The DatasetMatch rule in DQDL checks for full value equivalence between mapped fields. A value of 1.0 indicates a 100% match. The correct syntax and metric for an exact match scenario are:

“Use DatasetMatch when comparing mapped fields between two datasets. The comparison score of 1.0 confirms a perfect match.”

– Ace the AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate Certification - version 2 - apple.pdf

Options with “100” use incorrect syntax since DQDL uses floating-point scores (e.g., 1.0, 0.95), not percentages.
