AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

Your e-commerce platform runs on a single m6i.large instance with a 1-TB gp2 data volume that stores the MySQL database. During a flash sale, CloudWatch shows the VolumeThroughputExceededCheck metric returning 1 continuously, and VolumeQueueLength averages 20, driving up query latency. The team needs a quick, cost-effective fix that avoids application downtime. What should you do?

  • Attach two additional 1-TB gp2 volumes, configure RAID 0 across all three volumes to increase throughput, and migrate the data.

  • Use Elastic Volumes to convert the gp2 volume to a gp3 volume and provision 5 000 IOPS and 250 MiB/s throughput while the instance remains online.

  • Create a snapshot, then create a new 1-TB io2 volume with 20 000 provisioned IOPS and attach it in place of the existing volume.

  • Stop the instance, create a snapshot, restore it to an st1 volume, and attach the new volume.
