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

Answer options

• A. Use AWS Glue Catalog. Create a user table for the business glossary. Use the AWS Glue API to change table properties to add business metadata. Create a web application to access the metadata.
• B. Use an Apache Hive metastore. Create a user table for the business glossary. Use the ALTER TABLE command to change table properties to add business metadata. Create a web application to access the metadata.
• C. Use Amazon DataZone. Create the business glossaries. Create metadata forms. Use the Amazon DataZone data portal to access the metadata.
• D. Use Amazon OpenSearch Service. Create an index for the business glossary. Create a second index for the business metadata. Use the OpenSearch Service dashboard to access the metadata.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Amazon DataZone is specifically designed to facilitate the creation of business glossaries and metadata forms with minimal operational overhead. Options A and B require more manual intervention and management of resources, while option D involves more complexity with index management and search capabilities, which is unnecessary for the stated requirements.
