A large IT company is using AWS Organizations for managing different accounts across various regions. All AWS Cost & Usage reports across all accounts are saved in the S3 bucket in CSV format. As an administrator, you have been asked to use Amazon Athena to query these reports. Which of the following can be used to specify the S3 bucket path for Amazon Athena?

Answer options:

A.s3.amazon.com/bucketname/prefix/
B.s3://bucketname/prefix/*
C.s3://bucketname/prefix/
D.arn:aws:s3:::bucketname/prefix/

Correct Answer: C
While creating a Table in Amazon Athena, you can specify the path of data to be read using the LOCATION property. This path is specified as “s3://bucketname/prefix/”. Amazon Athena reads all data stored in this path.
Option A is incorrect. While specifying location for data in the S3 bucket, a full HTTP path is not required.
Option B is incorrect as Amazon Athena reads all data from the S3 bucket specified & specifying a wildcard * is not required to be added in the LOCATION property.
Option D is incorrect. While specifying location for data in the S3 bucket, ARN is not required.
