Question

A company has stored 10 TB of log files in Apache Parquet format in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company occasionally needs to use SQL to analyze the log files. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Create an AWS Glue crawler to store and retrieve table metadata from the S3 bucket. Use Amazon Athena to run SQL statements directly on the data in the S3 bucket. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. Amazon Athena runs serverless SQL queries directly on data in Amazon S3 with no infrastructure to manage. AWS Glue is a serverless ETL and data-catalog service that prepares and integrates data. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
