The solution C will meet the requirements with the least development effort because it uses Amazon Rekognition and AWS CloudTrail, which are fully managed services that can provide the desired functionality. The solution C involves the following steps:
Use Amazon Rekognition to identify celebrities in the pictures. Amazon Rekognition is a service that can analyze images and videos and extract insights such as faces, objects, scenes, emotions, and more. Amazon Rekognition also provides a feature called Celebrity Recognition, which can recognize thousands of celebrities across a number of categories, such as politics, sports, entertainment, and media. Amazon Rekognition can return the name, face, and confidence score of the recognized celebrities, as well as additional information such as URLs and biographies1.
Use AWS CloudTrail to capture IP address and timestamp details. AWS CloudTrail is a service that can record the API calls and events made by or on behalf of AWS accounts. AWS CloudTrail can provide information such as the source IP address, the user identity, the request parameters, and the response elements of the API calls. AWS CloudTrail can also deliver the event records to an Amazon S3 bucket or an Amazon CloudWatch Logs group for further analysis and auditing2.
The other options are not suitable because:
Option A: Using AWS Panorama to identify celebrities in the pictures and using AWS CloudTrail to capture IP address and timestamp details will not meet the requirements effectively. AWS Panorama is a service that can extend computer vision to the edge, where it can run inference on video streams from cameras and other devices. AWS Panorama is not designed for identifying celebrities in pictures, and it may not provide accurate or relevant results. Moreover, AWS Panorama requires the use of an AWS Panorama Appliance or a compatible device, which may incur additional costs and complexity3.
Option B: Using AWS Panorama to identify celebrities in the pictures and making calls to the AWS Panorama Device SDK to capture IP address and timestamp details will not meet the requirements effectively, for the same reasons as option A. Additionally, making calls to the AWS Panorama Device SDK will require more development effort than using AWS CloudTrail, as it will involve writing custom code and handling errors and exceptions4.
Option D: Using Amazon Rekognition to identify celebrities in the pictures and using the text detection feature to capture IP address and timestamp details will not meet the requirements effectively. The text detection feature of Amazon Rekognition is used to detect and recognize text in images and videos, such as street names, captions, product names, and license plates. It is not suitable for capturing IP address and timestamp details, as these are not part of the pictures that users upload. Moreover, the text detection feature may not be accurate or reliable, as it depends on the quality and clarity of the text in the images and videos5.
