A company wants to share data with a vendor in real time to improve the...

The requirement specifies real-time streaming ingestion and column-level transformation before sharing data with a vendor. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is designed for low-latency, real-time data ingestion and delivery.

To extract only required columns from the stream, AWS recommends using Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink as a stream consumer. Flink enables real-time transformations such as filtering, projection, and enrichment on streaming data before delivering it downstream.

Option A and D are batch-oriented and not suitable for real-time streaming. Option C is incorrect because S3 bucket policies cannot enforce column-level access controls.

Therefore, Kinesis Data Streams combined with Apache Flink meets all requirements.
