A company's application runs on Amazon EC2 instances that are in multiple Availability Zones.

The solution that will meet the requirements is to create Amazon Kinesis data streams for data ingestion, create Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery streams to consume the Kinesis data streams, and specify the S3 bucket as the destination of the delivery streams. This solution will allow the company’s application to ingest real-time data from third-party applications and place the ingested raw data in an S3 bucket. Amazon Kinesis data streams are scalable and durable streams that can capture and store data from hundreds of thousands of sources. Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is a fully managed service that can deliver streaming data to destinations such as S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon OpenSearch Service, and Splunk. Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose can also transform and compress the data before delivering it to S3.

The other solutions are not as effective as the first one because they either do not support real-time data ingestion, do not work with third-party applications, or do not use S3 as the destination. Creating database migration tasks in AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) will not support real-time data ingestion, as AWS DMS is mainly designed for migrating relational databases, not streaming data. AWS DMS also requires replication instances, source endpoints, and target endpoints to be compatible with specific database engines and versions. Creating and configuring AWS DataSync agents on the EC2 instances will not work with third-party applications, as AWS DataSync is a service that transfers data between on-premises storage systems and AWS storage services, not between applications. AWS DataSync also requires installing agents on the source or destination servers. Creating an AWS Direct Connect connection to the application for data ingestion will not use S3 as the destination, as AWS Direct Connect is a service that establishes a dedicated network connection between on-premises andAWS, not between applications and storage services. AWS Direct Connect also requires a physical connection to an AWS Direct Connect location.
