Question

A financial services company has an asset management product that thousands of customers use around the world. The customers provide feedback about the product through surveys. The company is building a new analytical solution that runs on Amazon EMR to analyze the data from these surveys. The following user personas need to access the analytical solution to perform different actions:

  • Administrator: Provisions the EMR cluster for the analytics team

based on the team's requirements

  • Data engineer: Runs ETL scripts to process, transform, and enrich the

datasets

  • Data analyst: Runs SQL and Hive queries on the data

A solutions architect must ensure that all the user personas have least privilege access to only the resources that they need.

Explanation

AWS Service Catalog allows organizations to create and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS. This is ideal for controlling which Amazon EMR versions and cluster configurations are available to users. Specific cluster configurations and permissions can be set for each user persona, ensuring they have only the access they need. This meets the least privilege principle. The Service Catalog can be configured to allow users to launch only certain applications, ensuring adherence to company policies on approved and authorized software. It also supports resource tagging.
