Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 384 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 384
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company runs an application on Amazon EC2 Linux instances across multiple Availability Zones. The application needs a storage layer that is highly available and Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)-compliant. The storage layer must provide maximum data durability and must be shareable across the EC2 instances. The data in the storage layer will be accessed frequently for the first 30 days and will be accessed infrequently after that time.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

  • A. Use the Amazon S3 Standard storage class. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to move infrequently accessed data to S3 Glacier.
  • B. Use the Amazon S3 Standard storage class. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to move infrequently accessed data to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA).
  • C. Use the Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Standard storage class. Create a lifecycle management policy to move infrequently accessed data to EFS Standard-Infrequent Access (EFS Standard-IA).
  • D. Use the Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) One Zone storage class. Create a lifecycle management policy to move infrequently accessed data to EFS One Zone-Infrequent Access (EFS One Zone-IA).

key-Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)-compliant. key -shareable across the ec2 instances key-accessed frequently for the first 30 days and will be accessed infrequently after key-storage layer that is highly available so the only service that work with POSIX is EFS in this case s3 can not use posix so A and B are wrong answers is not D because is not highly available becase is One Zone so the answer is c

"storage layer will be accessed frequently for the first 30 days and will be accessed infrequently after that time" Was the only reason they added this to trick you?

Selected Answer: C
Both standard and one zone have same durability. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/storage-classes.html Also EFS one zone can work with multiple EC2s in different AZs. But there will be a cost involved when you are accessing the EFS from a different AZ EC2. (EC2 data access charges) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/how-it-works.html So if "all" EC2 instances accessing the files frequently there will be a storage cost + EC2 data access charges if you choose one zone. So i would choose C.

How does D fulfill the data durability requirement? Requirements must be met first, then consider 'most cost effective' - if you go to a tire shop, and say you want 4 new tires as cheap as possible. And they take off 4 tires and put on 2... Then they say you wanted it as cheap as possible...
