Correct answer: Inventory existing databases and S3 buckets and register those data sources with AWS Lake Formation., Run AWS Glue crawlers on the registered data sources to populate a central data catalog., Use AWS Lake Formation to enforce fine-grained access controls and encryption..
Why this is the answer
The correct combination leverages AWS Lake Formation as the central management layer for a data lake. Registering existing databases and S3 buckets with Lake Formation (or AWS Glue, which Lake Formation integrates with) allows it to manage those data sources. Running AWS Glue crawlers on these registered sources automatically infers schemas and populates the AWS Glue Data Catalog, which Lake Formation uses as its central metadata repository. Finally, Lake Formation is specifically designed to enforce fine-grained access controls and encryption across the data lake, simplifying security management compared to configuring IAM and encryption individually for each data source. AWS Glue itself is primarily an ETL service and does not directly provide fine-grained access control or encryption enforcement for data at rest; it relies on other services like Lake Formation or IAM for these functions.
