AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
Your client requires a storage solution that allows them to store and easily share project files among a distributed team of video editors who frequently access and edit videos collaboratively. The solution needs to provide shared access, low-latency retrieval, and the ability to scale as the number of projects increases. Which AWS service should you recommend?
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is the correct service for this use case as it is a fully-managed file storage service that provides NFS file system access. It is designed to be highly scalable, providing shared access to file systems from multiple EC2 instances, which is great for collaborative tasks such as video editing. It offers strong performance with low latency, which is essential for video editors accessing and editing large media files. The other options do not provide the same level of shared file system access or low-latency retrieval as EFS. Amazon S3 is optimized for object storage and is not suitable for low-latency file operations, Amazon EBS provides block-level storage and is not designed for shared file system access, and Amazon Glacier is intended for long-term storage/archiving, not for performance-intensive operations.
