Difficulty: EasyAWS Storage Services

A company is setting up a new website on AWS. The website requires a highly durable storage service to host public static assets, such as images and stylesheets, directly to users. Additionally, the website's host virtual machine needs a persistent block storage volume for its operating system boot drive. Which two AWS storage services should the company select to meet these requirements?

  1. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)Answer
  2. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)Answer
  3. C
    Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
  4. D
    Amazon EC2 Instance Store
  5. E
    Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval

Answer

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is the correct choice for hosting static assets because it is designed for scalable, durable object storage with direct web accessibility. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is the correct choice for the boot volume because it provides persistent, low-latency block storage that remains intact when the EC2 instance is stopped.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirement for hosting public static assets.
Amazon S3 is the optimal service for object storage, static website hosting, and direct web access.
It allows objects to be fetched directly via HTTP endpoints and handles high scale automatically.
2
Identify the requirement for a persistent boot drive for a virtual machine.
Amazon EBS provides persistent block storage volumes that serve as the operating system drives for EC2.
It offers low-latency block-level storage that persists independently of the lifecycle of the instance.

Key Concept

Selecting appropriate storage types based on persistency, access patterns, and protocol requirements.
