Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
1. Create a Kinesis Data Firehose stream 2. Configure the data source 3. Set the S3 destination 4. Enable optional Lambda transformation 5. Test the pipeline
Why this is correct
This order is correct because you must create the Firehose stream first, then configure where data comes from, where it goes, add transformations, and finally test the setup.
- ✗
1. Configure the data source 2. Create a Kinesis Data Firehose stream 3. Enable optional Lambda transformation 4. Set the S3 destination 5. Test the pipeline
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you need to create the Firehose stream before configuring the source, and the destination must be set before enabling transformations, as the transformation references the destination.
- ✗
1. Create a Kinesis Data Firehose stream 2. Set the S3 destination 3. Configure the data source 4. Enable optional Lambda transformation 5. Test the pipeline
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the data source should be configured before setting the destination, as the source type affects destination options.
- ✗
1. Configure the data source 2. Set the S3 destination 3. Create a Kinesis Data Firehose stream 4. Enable optional Lambda transformation 5. Test the pipeline
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the Firehose stream must be created before any configuration; you cannot configure a stream that does not exist yet.
