An application is currently hosted on an EC2 Instance which has attached EBS Volumes. The data on these volumes are accessed for a week and after that, the documents need to be moved to infrequent access storage. Which of the following EBS volume type provides cost efficiency for the moved documents?
A. EBS Provisioned IOPS SSD
B. EBS Throughput Optimized HDD
C. EBS General Purpose SSD
D. EBS Cold HDD
Explanation:
Answer – D
AWS Documentation mentions the following:
Cold HDD (sc1) volumes provide low-cost magnetic storage that defines performance in terms of throughput rather than IOPS. With a lower throughput limit than st1, sc1 is a good fit ideal for large, sequential cold-data workloads. If you require infrequent access to your data and are looking to save costs, sc1 provides inexpensive block storage.
