section based set of question for AWS SA PRO Design for new solution

[wail-el-edghiri]

Hello all,

I hope you are doing well.

I’m confused about the SA PRO Design solution section-based following question:

A startup develops Internet-Of-Things (IoT) devices that provide health monitoring for dogs and cats which is integrated into their collars. The startup has an engineering team to build a smart pet collar that collects biometric information of the pet every second and then sends it to a web portal through a POST API request. The Solutions Architect has been tasked to set up the API services and the web portal that will accept and process the biometric data as well as provide complete trends and health reports to pet owners around the globe. The portal should be highly durable, available, and scalable with an additional feature for showing real-time biometric data analytics and monitoring.

Which of the following is the best architecture that the Solutions Architect should implement to meet the above requirement?

The answer is:

1. Use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to collect the incoming biometric data.

2. Analyze the data using Amazon Kinesis and show the results in a real-time dashboard.

3. Set up a simple data aggregation process and pass the results to Amazon S3.

4. Store the data to Amazon Redshift, configured with automated backups, to handle complex analytics.

I got the answer correct, but I noticed that after the data are ingested in Kinesis Data Stream, some analysis in “kinesis” is done and then it is sent to S3 but it does not specify which kinesis service is to be used, is it Kinesis data analytics? ( because it cannot be KDS since we sent it to S3 nor Firehose since it’s real-time). I just wanna make sure that I’m not missing something.

Could you please clarify?

Thanks in advance for your help on this.

Have a good day!

Hello Wail,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, the Kinesis service that was being referred to is Kinesis Data Analytics.

Let me know if you have further questions.
