AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question

General Purpose SSD (gp3) volumes offer a balance of price and performance and are designed for a wide range of workloads, including low-latency applications, development, and test environments. They provide the ability to independently provision IOPS and throughput, which suits the flexible performance requirements of frequent random reads and small to medium-sized I/O operations. While Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1/io2) volumes are optimized for I/O intensive applications and deliver high performance, they might not be the most cost-effective for the described use case. Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) and Cold HDD (sc1) volumes, being HDD-based, do not offer the low-latency performance required by interactive applications. Magnetic (standard) volumes are suited for workloads with lower I/O requirements and would not suit interactive, low-latency applications.
