AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A multimedia company needs to host a popular online game that generates sporadic traffic spikes. The game’s data is accessed frequently with a requirement for low latency and fast read and write performance. Which storage solution should they use to optimize for high-performance demands?
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
Amazon EBS Throughput Optimized HDD (st1)
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1/io2)
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1/io2) volumes are designed to meet the needs of I/O-intensive workloads that are sensitive to storage performance and consistency. They offer high throughput and low latency, which are critical for applications that require fast and reliable access to data. Amazon S3 is not suitable as it is object storage and does not offer the low latency or fine-tuned IOPS required by online games. Amazon EFS would offer shared file access which is not required in this scenario, and Amazon EBS Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) is optimized for large block, throughput-intensive workloads and not low latency.
