 This solution meets the requirements of implementing real-time analytics capabilities with the least operational overhead. By creating an external schema in Amazon Redshift, you can access the data from Kinesis Data Streams using SQL queries without having to load the data into the cluster. By creating a materialized view on top of the stream, you can store the results of the query in the cluster and make them available for analysis. By setting the materialized view to auto refresh, you can ensure that the view is updated with the latest data from the stream at regular intervals. This way, you can derive near real-time insights by using existing BI and analytics tools. References:

AWS Glue is a fully managed serverless ETL service that can handle various data sources and formats, including .csv files in Amazon S3. AWS Glue provides two types of jobs: PySpark and Python shell. PySpark jobs use Apache Spark to process large-scale data in parallel, while Python shell jobs use Python scripts to process small-scale data in a single execution environment. For this requirement, a Python shell job is more suitable and cost-effective, as the size of each S3 object is less than 100 MB, which does not require distributed processing. A Python shell job can use pandas, a popular Python library for data analysis, to transform the .csv data as needed. The other solutions are not optimal or relevant for this requirement. Writing a custom Python application and hosting it on an Amazon EKS cluster would require more effort and resources to set up and manage the Kubernetes environment, as well as to handle the data ingestion and transformation logic. Writing a PySpark ETL script and hosting it on an Amazon EMR cluster would also incur more costs and complexity to provision and configure the EMR cluster, as well as to use Apache Spark for processing small data files. Writing an AWS Glue PySpark job would also be less efficient and economical than a Python shell job, as it would involve unnecessary overhead and charges for using Apache Spark for small data files. References:

Option B is correct because CloudWatch Logs subscription filters are the native way to send only matching log events to a downstream destination such as Amazon Data Firehose. AWS states that a subscription filter defines the filter pattern for which log events get delivered and where they are sent. AWS also documents that CloudWatch Logs events can be sent to Firehose by using subscription filters. This directly satisfies the requirement to deliver only relevant logs. Once the logs are in Firehose, AWS documents that Firehose can invoke an AWS Lambda function to transform incoming source data before delivering it to the destination, which satisfies the requirement to deliver the logs in a compatible format for analysis.

Option A is incorrect because S3 bucket rules do not filter CloudWatch log events by timestamp for ingestion control, and using S3 triggers adds unnecessary post-delivery processing. Option C is invalid because the subscription filter applies at the CloudWatch Logs log group, not by “monitoring the Firehose stream.” Option D is incorrect because Firehose does not natively ingest only CloudWatch log groups based on tags or automatically reformat arbitrary logs without a transformation step. The most reliable and AWS-native design is subscription filtering + Firehose + Lambda transformation.
