AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 64
When does an AWS Data Pipeline terminate the AWS Data Pipeline-managed compute resources?
Answer options
- A. AWS Data Pipeline terminates AWS Data Pipeline-managed compute resources every 2 hours.
- B. When the final activity that uses the resources is running
- C. AWS Data Pipeline terminates AWS Data Pipeline-managed compute resources every 12 hours.
- D. When the final activity that uses the resources has completed successfully or failed
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because AWS Data Pipeline terminates managed compute resources only after the final activity has either succeeded or failed, ensuring that all tasks are completed. Options A and C are incorrect as they suggest fixed time intervals for termination, while option B is misleading since it implies resources are still active during the last activity.
