Analysts want to run SQL queries directly against log and CSV files sitting in an Amazon S3 data lake without standing up a traditional database server. Which serverless service matches that pattern?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
SQL on files in S3 without standing up a database server? Amazon Athena is the serverless query engine for that data-lake pattern. Point it at the bucket layout, run SQL, pay for the query—not for a always-on warehouse you babysit.
Full Explanation
Amazon Athena is a serverless interactive query service that runs SQL directly against data in Amazon S3, which suits data-lake analytics without provisioning a traditional database server. EC2 hosts, VPN constructs, and desktop application managers are not serverless SQL-on-S3 engines.
