  1. 1What is a "data lake"?
    1. AA formal database for structured data.
    2. BA distributed file storage system containing raw, unstructured data.
    3. CA highly redundant server-based database system.
    4. DA collection of relational database schemas.
  2. 2Which cloud service is commonly used to implement a data lake?
    1. AAmazon RDS
    2. BAmazon S3
    3. CAmazon DynamoDB
    4. DAmazon EC2
  3. 3What is the primary purpose of AWS Glue in the context of a data lake?
    1. ATo store data redundantly across regions.
    2. BTo provide a SQL interface for querying raw data.
    3. CTo crawl unstructured data and define schemas.
    4. DTo optimize database queries for performance.
  4. 4What tool allows SQL queries directly on data stored in Amazon S3?
    1. AAmazon DynamoDB
    2. BAmazon Athena
    3. CAmazon ElasticSearch
    4. DAmazon Lambda
  5. 5How does Redshift Spectrum enhance the capabilities of Amazon Redshift?
    1. ABy integrating with Amazon Glue to create schemas.
    2. BBy querying data stored directly in Amazon S3.
    3. CBy offering serverless SQL querying capabilities.
    4. DBy storing all data in highly redundant clusters.
  6. 6Why is partitioning data important in a data lake?
    1. ATo replicate data across regions for redundancy.
    2. BTo organize raw files into predefined schemas.
    3. CTo improve query performance by narrowing data access.
    4. DTo ensure compatibility with Amazon Glue.
  7. 7What is a typical partitioning strategy for storing log data?
    1. APartitioning by file size.
    2. BPartitioning by data source.
    3. CPartitioning by date.
    4. DPartitioning by user ID.
  8. 8How should you approach data lake architecture from a system design perspective?
    1. ADesign the data lake structure based on how end-users will query the data.
    2. BStore all data in a single bucket without structure to maximize flexibility.
    3. CFocus exclusively on schema design before considering query patterns.
    4. DPrioritize database migration over partitioning strategies.
  9. 9What is one advantage of using off-the-shelf tools like AWS Glue and Amazon Athena?
    1. AThey allow complete control over low-level data management.
    2. BThey eliminate the need to think about data structure.
    3. CThey enable scalable and reliable big data solutions with minimal custom design.
    4. DThey prevent redundancy in cloud storage systems.
