[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Questions]

A company wants to use high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure on AWS for financial risk modeling. The company's HPC workloads run on Linux. Each
HPC workflow runs on hundreds of AmazonEC2 Spot Instances, is short-lived, and generates thousands of output files that are ultimately stored in persistent storage for analytics and long-term future use.
The company seeks a cloud storage solution that permits the copying of on premises data to long-term persistent storage to make data available for processing by all EC2 instances. The solution should also be a high performance file system that is integrated with persistent storage to read and write datasets and output files.
Which combination of AWS services meets these requirements?

A. Amazon FSx for Lustre integrated with Amazon S3
B. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server integrated with Amazon S3
C. Amazon S3 Glacier integrated with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
D. Amazon S3 bucket with a VPC endpoint integrated with an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) General Purpose SSD (gp2) volume

Answer is A. Refer url: https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/lustre/ Amazon FSx for Lustre is a fully managed service that provides cost-effective, high-performance, scalable storage for compute workloads. Many workloads such as machine learning, high performance computing (HPC), video rendering, and financial simulations depend on compute instances accessing the same set of data through high-performance shared storage.

Actually, it can be used with Linux as well. https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/lustre/ Designed for any Linux workload Amazon FSx for Lustre is POSIX-compliant, so you can use your current Linux-based applications without having to make any changes. FSx for Lustre provides a native file system interface and works as any file system does with your Linux operating system. It provides read-after-write consistency and supports file locking. You can access your file systems from Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon EKS clusters, and from on premises using AWS Direct Connect or AWS VPN.
