Question

A company provides an online service for posting video content and transcoding it for use by any mobile platform. The application architecture uses Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Standard to collect and store the videos so that multiple Amazon EC2 Linux instances can access the video content for processing. As the popularity of the service has grown over time, the storage costs have become too expensive. Which storage solution is MOST cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Use Amazon S3 for storing the video content. Move the files temporarily over to an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume attached to the server for processing. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. Amazon EBS provides block storage attached to a single EC2 instance. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
