AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 244

Question

Users are periodically experiencing slow response times from a relational database. The database runs on a burstable Amazon EC2 instance with a 350 GB General Purpose SSD (gp2) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. A SysOps administrator monitors the EC2 instance in Amazon CloudWatch and observes that the VolumeReadOps metric drops to less than 10% of its peak value during the periods of slow response. What should the SysOps administrator do to ensure consistently high performance?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Convert the gp2 volume to a General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volume. Amazon EBS provides block storage attached to a single EC2 instance.
