AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate (DEA-C01) — Question 106

An ecommerce company wants to use AWS to migrate data pipelines from an on-premises environment into the AWS Cloud. The company currently uses a third-party tool in the on-premises environment to orchestrate data ingestion processes.

The company wants a migration solution that does not require the company to manage servers. The solution must be able to orchestrate Python and Bash scripts. The solution must not require the company to refactor any code.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Answer options

• A. AWS Lambda
• B. Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MVVAA)
• C. AWS Step Functions
• D. AWS Glue

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MVVAA), as it is designed for orchestrating complex data workflows without requiring server management or code refactoring. AWS Lambda (A) is better suited for event-driven tasks, while AWS Step Functions (C) focus on coordinating microservices and AWS Glue (D) is primarily for ETL tasks, making them less suitable for this specific orchestration requirement.
