Question 35 of 65 | ← Chapter 6
Q400. A weather forecasting company needs to process hundreds of gigabytes of data with sub-millisecond latency. The company has a high performance computing (HPC) environment in its data center and wants to expand its forecasting capabilities. A solutions architect must identify a highly available cloud storage solution that can handle large amounts of sustained throughput Files that are stored in the solution should be accessible to thousands of compute instances that will simultaneously access and process the entire dataset.What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
- A. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre scratch file systems.
- B. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre persistent file systems. ✓
- C. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) with Bursting Throughput mode.
- D. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) with Provisioned Throughput mode
Correct Answer: B. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre persistent file systems.
Explanation
Amazon FSx for Lustre is a high-performance file system that is designed for HPC workloads. It provides high throughput and low latency access to large datasets, making it suitable for processing hundreds of gigabytes of data with sub-millisecond latency. With Amazon FSx for Lustre persistent file systems, the data is stored durably and can be accessed by thousands of compute instances simultaneously. This solution provides the highly available cloud storage solution that can handle large amounts of sustained throughput and meets the requirements of the weather forecasting company.
