Which AWS Service would be very helpful in processing all this data?

You are in the process of building an online gaming site for a client and one of the requirements is that it must be able to process vast amounts of data easily.

Which AWS Service would be very helpful in processing all this data?
A . Amazon S3
B . AWS Data Pipeline
C . AWS Direct Connect
D . Amazon EMR

Answer: D

Explanation:

Managing and analyzing high data volumes produced by online games platforms can be difficult. The back-end infrastructures of online games can be challenging to maintain and operate. Peak usage periods, multiple players, and high volumes of write operations are some of the most common problems that operations teams face.

Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR) is a service that processes vast amounts of data easily. Input data can be retrieved from web server logs stored on Amazon S3 or from player data stored in Amazon DynamoDB tables to run analytics on player behavior, usage patterns, etc. Those results can be stored again on Amazon S3, or inserted in a relational database for further analysis with classic business intelligence tools.
