AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A company runs analytics on 100 EC2 instances in two Availability Zones, sharing an Amazon EFS Regional file system in General Purpose performance mode with Bursting throughput. During periodic spikes that issue thousands of parallel metadata operations, engineers see high client I/O wait and the PercentIOLimit metric at 100%. Without migrating data or disruption, how can they BEST reduce these latency spikes?
Enable Provisioned throughput and set a value twice the current baseline.
Convert the file system to the Amazon EFS One Zone storage class.
Store additional data in the file system to increase its burst throughput limits.
Change the file system's throughput mode to Elastic throughput.
With Bursting throughput, General Purpose file systems are limited to 35,000 read and 7,000 write operations per second, so heavy bursts of metadata calls can exhaust the I/O limit and drive PercentIOLimit to 100%, causing latency. Switching the same file system to Elastic throughput mode-an online change-raises the IOPS ceiling to 900,000-2,500,000 read and up to 500,000 write operations per second while maintaining the low-latency General Purpose performance mode. Provisioned throughput and increasing file-system size raise MiB/s but do not raise the I/O limit. Changing to One Zone affects durability, not IOPS.
