Question
A company is developing a platform to process large volumes of data for complex analytics and machine learning (ML) tasks. The platform must handle compute-intensive workloads. The workloads currently require 20 to 30 minutes for each data processing step. The company wants a solution to accelerate data processing. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
Options
- ADeploy three Amazon EC2 instances. Distribute the EC2 instances across three Availability
- BCreate an Amazon EMR cluster. Use managed scaling. Install Apache Spark to assist with data
- CCreate an AWS Lambda function for each data processing step. Deploy an Amazon Simple
- DCreate a series of AWS Lambda functions to process the data. Use AWS Step Functions to

Explanation
Amazon EMR provides a managed big data framework that supports Apache Spark, which is ideal for distributed and compute-intensive data transformations. Managed scaling dynamically adjusts cluster resources, ensuring high performance with minimal management. "Amazon EMR provides a managed environment for big data frameworks such as Apache Spark and Hadoop. With managed scaling, EMR automatically resizes clusters to meet workload Why B is correct: Provides distributed parallel processing for large datasets. Reduces operational overhead with managed scaling and auto-termination. Integrates easily with S3, Glue, and ML pipelines. Optimized for heavy ETL and analytics workloads. Why others are incorrect: A: Manual scaling and limited processing capacity. C & D: Lambda has execution time and memory limits unsuitable for 30-minute compute- intensive tasks.
