Domain overview
This domain covers moving data into AWS and reshaping it: batch and streaming ingestion, AWS DMS, Kinesis, Glue, and S3-based pipelines. Questions are scenario-based, asking you to pick the right service for source impact, file size, cadence, schema conversion, and least operational overhead.
Exam objectives
Choosing AWS DMS for on-premises database replication to S3 or RDS with minimal source impact
Selecting AWS Glue, Kinesis Data Firehose, or DataSync for hourly file ingestion into Amazon S3
Using AWS DMS schema conversion and transformation rules to map source tables to a different target schema
Writing IAM policies with CloudWatch Logs ARNs so Lambda can create log streams and put logs
Assuming AWS DMS alone transforms schemas; schema conversion or transformation rules are needed when source and target differ.
Picking heavyweight services like AWS Glue for small hourly files when Firehose or DataSync is cheaper and lower overhead.
Writing CloudWatch Logs IAM ARNs for the log group only, forgetting the log-stream resource needed to create streams.
