Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 434 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02

Question #: 434
Topic #: 1

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

A solutions architect needs to host a high performance computing (HPC) workload in the AWS Cloud. The workload will run on hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances and will require parallel access to a shared file system to enable distributed processing of large datasets. Datasets will be accessed across multiple instances simultaneously. The workload requires access latency within 1 ms. After processing has completed, engineers will need access to the dataset for manual postprocessing.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

A. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) as a shared file system. Access the dataset from Amazon EFS.
B. Mount an Amazon S3 bucket to serve as the shared file system. Perform postprocessing directly from the S3 bucket.
C. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre as a shared file system. Link the file system to an Amazon S3 bucket for postprocessing.
D. Configure AWS Resource Access Manager to share an Amazon S3 bucket so that it can be mounted to all instances for processing and postprocessing.

Answer is C. https://aws.amazon.com/pt/fsx/lustre/faqs/ Amazon FSx also integrates with Amazon S3, making it easy for you to process cloud data sets with the Lustre high-performance file system. When linked to an S3 bucket, an FSx for Lustre file system transparently presents S3 objects as files and allows you to write changed data back to S3

Definitely C You use Lustre for workloads where speed matters, such as machine learning, high performance computing (HPC), video processing, and financial modeling. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/what-is.html

Answer C Lustre FSx is designed specifically for fast processing of workloads such as machine, learning, high performance computing (HPC), video processing, financial modeling, and electronic design automation (EDA). Lets you launch and run a file system that provides sub-millisecond access to your data and allows you to read and write data at speeds of up to hundreds of gigabytes per second of throughput and millions of IOPS.
