Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 465 discussion

A company is developing an application to support customer demands. The company wants to deploy the application on multiple Amazon EC2 Nitro-based instances within the same Availability Zone. The company also wants to give the application the ability to write to multiple block storage volumes in multiple EC2 Nitro-based instances simultaneously to achieve higher application availability.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Use General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volumes with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Multi-Attach
  • B. Use Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) EBS volumes with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Multi-Attach
  • C. Use Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Multi-Attach
  • D. Use General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS volumes with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Multi-Attach

Selected Answer: C
AWS IO2 does support Multi-Attach. Multi-Attach allows you to share access to an EBS data volume between up to 16 Nitro-based EC2 instances within the same Availability Zone. Each attached instance has full read and write permission to the shared volume. This feature is intended to make it easier to achieve higher application availability for customers that want to deploy applications that manage storage consistency from multiple writers in shared storage infrastructure. However, please note that Multi-Attach on io2 is available in certain regions only.

The correct answer is A. Currently, Multi Attach EBS feature is supported by gp3 volumes also. Multi-Attach is supported for certain EBS volume types, including io1, io2, gp3, st1, and sc1 volumes.

Multi-Attach does not support Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) volumes. Multi-Attach is currently available only for General Purpose SSD (gp2), Throughput Optimized HDD (st1), and Cold HDD (sc1) EBS volumes.

Option D suggests using General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS volumes with Amazon EBS Multi-Attach. While gp2 volumes support multi-attach, gp3 volumes offer a more cost-effective solution with enhanced performance characteristics.

I'm sorry : Multi-Attach enabled volumes can be attached to up to 16 instances built on the Nitro System that are in the same Availability Zone. Multi-Attach is supported exclusively on Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 or io2) volumes.

Answer - C C. Use Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Multi-Attach. While both option C and option D can support Amazon EBS Multi-Attach, using Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes provides higher performance and lower latency compared to General Purpose SSD (gp2) volumes. This makes io2 volumes better suited for demanding and mission-critical applications where performance is crucial. If the goal is to achieve higher application availability and ensure optimal performance, using Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes with Multi-Attach will provide the best results.

c is right Amazon EBS Multi-Attach enables you to attach a single Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 or io2) volume to multiple instances that are in the same Availability Zone. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-volumes-multi.html nothing about gp

Selected Answer: D
Given that the scenario does not mention any specific requirements for high-performance or specific IOPS needs, using General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS volumes with Amazon EBS Multi-Attach (option D) is typically the more cost-effective and suitable choice. General Purpose SSD (gp2) volumes provide a good balance of performance and cost, making them well-suited for general-purpose workloads.

I agree General Purpose SSD (gp2) volumes are the most common volume type. They were designed to be a cost-effective storage option for a wide variety of workloads. Gp2 volumes cover system volumes, dev and test environments, and various low-latency apps.

the question has not mentioned anything about cost-effective solution. only io1/io2 supports Multi-Attach plus fyi, gp3 is the one gives a good balance of performance and cost. so gp2 is wrong in every way
