Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use AWS Glue crawlers to catalog the data and populate the Data Catalog
Why this is correct
A Glue Data Catalog is required for Lake Formation to manage permissions on tables and columns.
- ✗
Create a SageMaker notebook instance and attach an IAM role
Why it's wrong here
This is a general step for SageMaker, not specific to Lake Formation column-level access.
- ✓
Define column-level permissions in Lake Formation to grant access to specific columns for the data scientist role
Why this is correct
Lake Formation allows you to grant SELECT permission on specific columns to IAM roles.
- ✗
Enable S3 versioning on the training data bucket
Why it's wrong here
Versioning is an S3 feature for data protection, not for column-level access control.
- ✓
Register the S3 bucket containing the training data with Lake Formation
Why this is correct
Registering the S3 location is required for Lake Formation to manage permissions.
