Description

Amazon Data Firehose is a streaming Extract Transform Load (ETL) service that makes it easy to stream data at scale in the AWS cloud. It is fully-managed, supports data transformation, and enables near real-time data-focussed applications such as analytics and dashboards.

Amazon CloudWatch Logs is a logging service that enables you to store, centralize, and search the logs of your applications and cloud infrastructure. It's natively supported by many AWS services.

Candidates aiming for AWS certification should be comfortable understanding how to combine these services to create sophisticated logging cloud infrastructure.

This hands-on lab challenge will test your practical ability to configure a solution in a production-like AWS environment. You will be presented with a task and set of requirements that you must fulfill to pass the challenge.

This is a real environment, which means you can prove your knowledge in an applied way, substituting multiple choice questions for a dynamic performance-based exam situation.
