AWS Certified Solutions Architect study material · question 298 of 500

For which kind of workload are SSD-backed EBS volumes designed?

  1. Cold archival storage read a few times a year
  2. Shared file access from many instances at once
  3. Transactional work with frequent small reads and writes, where IOPS is the limit
  4. Sequential streaming of very large files, where throughput is the limit
Show the answer

Answer: C. Transactional work with frequent small reads and writes, where IOPS is the limit

SSD volumes are optimized for small, frequent I/O where the dominant performance attribute is IOPS rather than throughput.
