Explanation
Amazon Redshift is the correct choice because:
- Data Warehouse Purpose: Amazon Redshift is specifically designed as a cloud data warehouse service optimized for large-scale data analytics
- Terabyte-Scale Storage: It can handle petabytes of data, easily supporting terabytes as mentioned in the requirement
- Complex Analytic Queries: Redshift uses columnar storage and massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture, making it ideal for complex analytical queries and business intelligence workloads
- Performance: Optimized for read-heavy analytical workloads with advanced query optimization and compression
Why other options are incorrect:
- Amazon DynamoDB: NoSQL database service, not designed for complex analytic queries or data warehousing
- Amazon S3: Object storage service, not a database or data warehouse - can store data but doesn't process queries
- Amazon Aurora: Relational database optimized for OLTP (Online Transaction Processing), not OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) workloads
Amazon Redshift is AWS's fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service specifically built for large-scale data analytics and complex query processing.
