AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company needs to store a rapidly increasing amount of unstructured data that will grow exponentially over the next few years. They are looking for a cost-effective cloud-based solution that requires minimal management effort and can automatically scale to accommodate this growth. Which storage service should they choose to meet these requirements?
Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is the ideal storage solution for this scenario. It provides scalable, highly available, and durable object storage with virtually unlimited capacity. Amazon S3 automatically scales to handle an immense amount of data without any management effort from the user, making it cost-effective for storing large volumes of unstructured data. Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is designed for file storage and is ideal for workloads that require shared file access with low latency, but it may not be as cost-effective for massive amounts of unstructured data. Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) offers block-level storage for compute instances and is not intended for storing vast amounts of data that need to scale automatically. Storage Gateway enables hybrid storage between on-premises environments and the Cloud but is not optimized for automatic scaling of data in the Cloud.
