2. Question 2 (Select THREE)

Three stages to set up a data lake using Lake Formation

• ✅ Register the storage location

• ❌ Create a database (This is Glue Data Catalog step, not part of the 3 Lake Formation setup stages)

• ❌ Populate the database

• ✅ Grant permissions

• ❌ Provision AWS data lake infrastructure

• ✅ Develop custom data ingestion pipelines

Correct answers: 1, 4, 6

Explanation:
Lake Formation setup stages are:

1. Register your S3 storage locations (Lake storage)

2. Grant permissions (fine-grained access control)

3. Ingest data (using Glue jobs, pipelines, or your own ETL → “develop custom ingestion pipelines”)

“Create a database” and “populate the database” are not part of the Lake Formation 3-step setup flow.
