A database requires 60,000 IOPS and sub-millisecond latency. The data must persist even if the EC2 instance is stopped or terminated. Which TWO storage options could meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

Amazon EBS gp3

Amazon EBS io2 Block Express

Amazon EC2 Instance Store

Amazon EBS io2

Amazon EFS

How to approach this question

Identify the need for persistent block storage (EBS) with >16k IOPS. Only io2 and io2 Block Express support this.

Full Answer

For persistent block storage requiring 60,000 IOPS, you must use Provisioned IOPS SSD volumes. Both io2 (up to 64,000 IOPS) and io2 Block Express (up to 256,000 IOPS) meet this requirement. Instance store is ephemeral and does not persist data.

Common mistakes

Selecting Instance Store, forgetting the requirement for data persistence.
