Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 193 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02
Question #: 193
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A large education company recently introduced Amazon Workspaces to provide access to internal applications across multiple universities. The company is storing user profiles on an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. The file system is configured with a DNS alias and is connected to a self-managed Active Directory. As more users begin to use the Workspaces, login time increases to unacceptable levels.

An investigation reveals a degradation in performance of the file system. The company created the file system on HDD storage with a throughput of 16 MBps. A solutions architect must improve the performance of the file system during a defined maintenance window.

What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative effort?

  • A. Use AWS Backup to create a point-in-time backup of the file system. Restore the backup to a new FSx for Windows File Server file system. Select SSD as the storage type. Select 32 MBps as the throughput capacity. When the backup and restore process is completed, adjust the DNS alias accordingly. Delete the original file system.
  • B. Disconnect users from the file system. In the Amazon FSx console, update the throughput capacity to 32 MBps. Update the storage type to SSD. Reconnect users to the file system.
  • C. Deploy an AWS DataSync agent onto a new Amazon EC2 instance. Create a task. Configure the existing file system as the source location. Configure a new FSx for Windows File Server file system with SSD storage and 32 MBps of throughput as the target location. Schedule the task. When the task is completed, adjust the DNS alias accordingly. Delete the original file system.
  • D. Enable shadow copies on the existing file system by using a Windows PowerShell command. Schedule the shadow copy job to create a point-in-time backup of the file system. Choose to restore previous versions. Create a new FSx for Windows File Server file system with SSD storage and 32 MBps of throughput. When the copy job is completed, adjust the DNS alias. Delete the original file system.

You can change your file system storage type from HDD to SSD using the Amazon FSx console or Amazon FSx API. You can't change your file system storage type from SSD to HDD. So A is correct as we can do this during the downtime

My reasons for its A: 1. FSx does not support live storage type changes from HDD to SSD. You must create a new file system.

Comparing between A and B, the trade-off decision would be on the key requirement for 'least administrative efforts'. Which seems to be lesser in B, because it's single step but on the other hand on A, there are multiple steps of backup, creating new FSx etc should be of more admin efforts. Hence B.

Selected Answer: B
SSD to HDD is impossible, but HDD to SSD is okay => B is feasible. B is less effort since B just disconnects users from the file system for a while, and then updates the FSx. While A needs a new FSx, backup, restore, clean up then switch, more steps to do than A

Let consider that B is correct (updating storage type is possible). Between A and B, A needs the LEAST administrative effort. A is seamless for users. However, B requires to disconnect users and thus service interruption and administrative effort to manage that!

Selected Answer: A
I pity those who are selecting B. updating the storage type (from HDD to SSD) is not supported for an existing FSx for Windows File Server file system. You would need to create a new file system to change the storage type. Therefore, this solution is not feasible.

Option B would be incorrect because it mentions updating the throughput and storage type directly in the FSx console, which is not supported for an existing FSx for Windows File Server.

AWS Backup to create a point-in-time backup of the existing file system, restoring the backup to a new FSx for Windows File Server file system with SSD storage and higher throughput capacity, adjusting the DNS alias, and deleting the original file system provides the most efficient and least administratively intensive solution to improve the performance of the file system during a defined maintenance window
