Question
A company is migrating legacy internal applications to AWS. Leadership wants to rewrite the internal employee directory to use native AWS services. A developer needs to create a solution for storing employee contact details and high-resolution photos for use with the new application.
Which solution will enable the search and retrieval of each employee's individual details and high-resolution photos using AWS APIs?
- A. Encode each employee's contact information and photos using Base64. Store the information in an Amazon DynamoDB table using a sort key.
- B. Store each employee's contact information in an Amazon DynamoDB table along with the object keys for the photos stored in Amazon S3. Correct
- C. Use Amazon Cognito user pools to implement the employee directory in a fully managed software-as-a-service (SaaS) method.
- D. Store employee contact information in an Amazon RDS DB instance with the photos stored in Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS).
Explanation
Option B is correct because it leverages Amazon DynamoDB for storing structured data such as employee contact details, which provides fast and predictable performance. Additionally, using Amazon S3 to store high-resolution photos ensures scalability, durability, and efficient retrieval of binary objects via AWS APIs.
