CompTIA DataX (CNX-001) — Question 45

An architecture team needs to unify all logging and performance monitoring used by global applications across the enterprise to perform decision-making analytics. Which of the following technologies is the best way to fulfill this purpose?

Answer options

• A. Relational database
• B. Content delivery network
• C. CIEM
• D. Data lake

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Data lake is ideal for aggregating vast amounts of data, including logs and performance metrics, allowing for comprehensive analytics. In contrast, a Relational database is structured and may not handle unstructured data efficiently, a Content delivery network focuses on content delivery rather than data analysis, and CIEM is primarily concerned with cloud infrastructure security, making them less suitable for this use case.
