AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
SaaS engineers share a 40-TB Amazon EFS Standard file system mounted by EC2 instances in two AZs. Roughly 90% of the data is rarely read each year; the remaining 10% must stay low-latency. They must cut storage cost, keep the same multi-AZ resilience, and avoid application changes. Which solution is MOST cost-effective?
Create an Amazon EFS One Zone-IA file system and move cold files to it with an automated script.
Enable EFS lifecycle management to transition files idle for 30 days to the EFS Standard-Infrequent Access storage class and leave active files in EFS Standard.
Migrate the file system to Amazon FSx for Lustre with an S3 data repository and enable auto-release after 30 days of inactivity.
Use AWS DataSync to copy files older than 30 days to an S3 Glacier Deep Archive bucket and delete them from EFS.
Enable EFS lifecycle management (Intelligent-Tiering) so that files not read for 30 days move automatically to the Standard-Infrequent Access class. Active files stay in Standard, and any IA file accessed again is transparently returned to Standard on first access. The single regional file system keeps its multi-AZ durability while saving up to 92 % on cold data.
EFS One Zone-IA would be cheaper but sacrifices cross-AZ redundancy. FSx for Lustre with an S3 repository or off-loading to S3 Glacier Deep Archive would change the storage interface or add latency, making them less suitable in this scenario.
