A media site stores image objects and serves them through application or web integrations. Which service is the best primary fit?
- A
Amazon EBS
- B
Amazon S3
- C
Amazon EFS
- D
Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive
Amazon EBS provides storage volumes that can be attached to EC2 instances.
Several Linux instances need to mount and access the same shared file system. Which AWS storage service best fits this requirement?
S3 Glacier archival classes store objects within S3 rather than providing a separate file system.
- A
True
- B
False
A relational database running on one EC2 instance needs persistent disk storage with consistent, low-latency access. Which service is the best fit?
- A
Amazon EBS
- B
Amazon EFS
- C
Amazon S3
- D
S3 Glacier Deep Archive
For an Amazon EBS gp3 volume, what additional performance can be provisioned beyond its included baseline?
A team is estimating the total cost of an S3 workload. Select all the factors it should include.
- A
Storage class
- B
Request volume
- C
Data retrieval
- D
Data transfer
- E
Provisioned IOPS
- F
EFS throughput configuration
Which EBS general-purpose SSD volume type includes baseline performance and allows additional IOPS or throughput to be provisioned?
Select all the accurate service-to-storage mappings.
- A
EBS provides block storage for an instance.
- B
EFS provides shared file storage.
- C
S3 provides block volumes for EC2 instances.
- D
EFS provides object storage accessed through APIs.
An application needs frequently updated transaction records in a database and periodic backup copies. Which storage plan best matches both needs?
- A
EFS for the live database and EBS for backups
- B
S3 for the live database and EFS for backups
- C
EBS for the live database and S3 for backups
- D
S3 Glacier Deep Archive for both the live database and backups
A team runs a database on one EC2 instance, shares a project directory across several supported clients, and keeps periodic backups. Recommend a storage service for each need and briefly justify each choice using the workload's data model or access pattern. Include one relevant performance or total-cost consideration.
An application stores S3 objects that users access frequently. Which S3 storage class is the most suitable starting point?
- A
S3 Glacier Deep Archive
- B
S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval
- C
S3 Standard
- D
Amazon EFS Archive
A media site stores image files as objects and serves them through application or web integrations. Which storage service is the best fit?
- A
Amazon S3
- B
Amazon EBS
- C
Amazon EFS
- D
S3 Glacier Deep Archive
True or false: Most Amazon EBS volume types are used by one EC2 instance at a time, although specialized options support some multi-attach use cases.
- A
True
- B
False
Several Linux web servers need to read and update the same shared set of user-uploaded files through a common file-system directory. Which service best fits this requirement?
- A
Amazon EBS
- B
Amazon EFS
- C
Amazon S3
- D
S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval
A relational database running on one EC2 instance needs persistent disk storage with consistent, low-latency access. Which primary service should it use?
- A
Amazon EBS
- B
Amazon EFS
- C
Amazon S3
- D
S3 Glacier Deep Archive
An application saves images, backups, and logs as whole units accessed through APIs rather than as files on a mounted disk. What data model describes this storage?
A team needs a shared project directory mounted by supported clients, but most files are seldom opened. Which approach best matches both the interface and the infrequent access pattern?
- A
Use S3 Glacier Deep Archive as the shared mounted directory.
- B
Use EFS with lifecycle management to IA or Archive if the access expectations fit.
- C
Use EBS and attach one volume to every server.
- D
Use S3 Standard as a conventional shared file system.
When estimating the total cost of a colder S3 storage class, what fee category may apply specifically when objects are retrieved?
