How can multiple compute resources be used on the same pipeline in AWS Data Pipeline?

Answer options

• A. You can use multiple compute resources on the same pipeline by defining multiple cluster objects in your definition file and associating the cluster to use for each activity via its runs On field.
• B. You can use multiple compute resources on the same pipeline by defining multiple cluster definition files
• C. You can use multiple compute resources on the same pipeline by defining multiple clusters for your activity.
• D. You cannot use multiple compute resources on the same pipeline.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is accurate because it specifies that multiple cluster objects can be defined and associated with activities through the 'runs On' field. Option B is incorrect as it suggests using multiple cluster definition files, which is not the correct approach. Option C is misleading because simply defining multiple clusters without proper association will not enable their use in the pipeline. Option D is false since it is possible to use multiple compute resources in a pipeline.
