Correct answer: Use standard SQL queries in Amazon Athena to analyze the CloudFront logs in the S3 bucket. Visualize the results with Amazon QuickSight..
Why this is the answer
Amazon Athena is a serverless query service that makes it easy to analyze data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. CloudFront logs are stored in S3, making Athena an ideal tool for querying them without needing to load the data elsewhere. Amazon QuickSight is a scalable, serverless, embeddable, machine learning-powered business intelligence (BI) service that can create interactive dashboards and visualizations from various data sources, including Athena. This combination directly addresses the need for advanced analysis and visualization. Incorrect options: AWS Glue is an extract, transform, and load (ETL) service, not primarily a visualization tool. Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database service, not suitable for directly querying S3-based log files with standard SQL for ad-hoc analytics.
