AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate (DEA-C01) — Question 101

A data engineer is building a data orchestration workflow. The data engineer plans to use a hybrid model that includes some on-premises resources and some resources that are in the cloud. The data engineer wants to prioritize portability and open source resources.

Which service should the data engineer use in both the on-premises environment and the cloud-based environment?

Answer options

• A. AWS Data Exchange
• B. Amazon Simple Workflow Service (Amazon SWF)
• C. Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA)
• D. AWS Glue

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA), as it is designed to run workflows in a portable and open-source manner, suitable for both on-premises and cloud environments. The other options, while useful for different purposes, do not emphasize the same level of portability or open-source compatibility needed for this hybrid model.
