AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

An operations team reviews CloudWatch metrics for a 4 TiB io1 volume provisioned with 20,000 IOPS that backs a bursty analytics workload. During peak hours VolumeReadOps stays below 500 IOPS and VolumeQueueLength remains under 1. Management asks to slash storage costs without impacting current performance. What is the MOST cost-effective change?

  • Lower the provisioned IOPS on the io1 volume from 20,000 to 2,000.

  • Convert the volume to an st1 throughput-optimized HDD volume.

  • Replace the io1 volume with a 4 TiB gp3 volume using the default 3,000 IOPS and 125 MiB/s throughput.

  • Convert the volume to a gp2 general-purpose SSD volume of the same size.
