AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 48

A bicycle sharing company is developing a multi-tier architecture to track the location of its bicycles during peak operating hours. The company wants to use these data points in its existing analytics platform. A solutions architect must determine the most viable multi-tier option to support this architecture. The data points must be accessible from the REST API.
Which action meets these requirements for storing and retrieving location data?

Answer options

• A. Use Amazon Athena with Amazon S3.
• B. Use Amazon API Gateway with AWS Lambda.
• C. Use Amazon QuickSight with Amazon Redshift.
• D. Use Amazon API Gateway with Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as using Amazon API Gateway with AWS Lambda allows for scalable and efficient retrieval of location data via a REST API, aligning with the architecture's requirements. Options A and C do not provide a direct method for accessing data via a REST API, while option D, although related to data analytics, does not facilitate the necessary retrieval of location data in the same manner as AWS Lambda does.
