Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 702 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 702
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company copies 200 TB of data from a recent ocean survey onto AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices. The company has a high performance computing (HPC) cluster that is hosted on AWS to look for oil and gas deposits. A solutions architect must provide the cluster with consistent sub-millisecond latency and high-throughput access to the data on the Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices. The company is sending the devices back to AWS.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Create an Amazon S3 bucket. Import the data into the S3 bucket. Configure an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway to use the S3 bucket. Access the file gateway from the HPC cluster instances.
  • B. Create an Amazon S3 bucket. Import the data into the S3 bucket. Configure an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system, and integrate it with the S3 bucket. Access the FSx for Lustre file system from the HPC cluster instances.
  • C. Create an Amazon S3 bucket and an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system. Import the data into the S3 bucket. Copy the data from the S3 bucket to the EFS file system. Access the EFS file system from the HPC cluster instances.
  • D. Create an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system. Import the data directly into the FSx for Lustre file system. Access the FSx for Lustre file system from the HPC cluster instances.

Selected Answer: B
No direct integration between Snowball and Fsx for Lustre. It must be via S3. Snowball Edge (Storage Optimized) --> S3 --integrate--> FSx for Lustre https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/create-dra-linked-data-repo.html https://aws.amazon.com/tw/blogs/aws/enhanced-amazon-s3-integration-for-amazon-fsx-for-lustre/

Selected Answer: D
Option D Option A, B, and C involve using Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS as an intermediary storage layer, which may introduce additional latency and overhead, not meeting the requirement of consistent sub-millisecond latency. Therefore, Option D is the most suitable solution for this scenario.

The format on the Snowball device would be s3 compatible only. The FSx for Lustre file system can be created and then linked to the S3 bucket. The Lustre file system can then be mounted on the HPC workloads that need sub-millisecond latency to storge data. Option B would be the correct option, assuming only S3 support on snowball.

Selected Answer: B
it is not possible to import data directly from Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices to Amazon FSx for Lustre, FSx for Lustre is designed to work seamlessly with data stored in Amazon S3, providing integration for high-performance access and lazy loading. Snowball Edge devices are designed to securely transfer data to AWS services, particularly Amazon S3. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/automatically-import-objects-from-amazon-s3-into-amazon-fsx-for-lustre/

You cannot import data from snowball in any other destination other than S3. So no, D is INCORRECT. Don't get tricked just because they mentioned HPC.

Selected Answer: D
Import data to AWS services: When AWS receives the device, the data is automatically imported into the designated AWS service or Amazon S3 bucket based on your configuration. For example, if you need to access the data from an HPC cluster running on AWS, you would import the data into an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system or Amazon S3, and then access it from your HPC cluster instances. No need S3 bucket

Selected Answer: D
Option D, creating an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system and importing the data directly into it, is indeed the most suitable solution for this scenario. By bypassing an intermediary storage layer and directly importing the data into FSx for Lustre, the solution ensures optimal performance with consistent sub-millisecond latency and high throughput, meeting the requirements of the HPC cluster. Thank you for pointing out the clarity.
