A company needs to stream logs using the AWS Kinesis Firehose service. They need to decide on a data store. The resulting files on the data store will be heavily queried over a week’s period time and after that can be archived for future analysis. Which of the following would be the ideal steps to implement the data store? Please choose 2 correct Options.

Answer options:

A.Ensure the destination for Kinesis Firehose is marked as S3
B.Ensure the destination for Kinesis Firehose is marked as Redshift
C.Create a Lifecycle policy for S3 to archive older files
D.Create a Job to move older data from the Redshift table

Answer – A and C
The ideal way is to use Lifecycle policies for S3. The AWS Documentation mentions the following on S3 Lifecycle policies
To manage your objects so that they are stored cost effectively throughout their lifecycle, configure their lifecycle. A lifecycle configuration is a set of rules that define actions that Amazon S3 applies to a group of objects. There are two types of actions:
Transition actions—Define when objects transition to another storage class. For example, you might choose to transition objects to the STANDARD_IA storage class 30 days after you created them, or archive objects to the GLACIER storage class one year after creating them.
Expiration actions—Define when objects expire. Amazon S3 deletes expired objects on your behalf.
The lifecycle expiration costs depend on when you choose to expire objects
