• Chose A2

  A) Correct - AWS Lambda provides a /tmp directory with storage between 51B to 10,240 MB. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-ephemeral-storage.html. The files in this directory are ephemeral and will be deleted after the function execution ends. B) Eliminated - Temporary files are not required to persist beyond the invocation, and using EFS would increase complexity and cost. C) Eliminated - Lambda does not directly support EBS volumes D) Eliminated- While S3 can store temporary data, it is not optimized for high-speed read/write operations during a Lambda invocation. Additionally, the use case specifies that the files do not need to be saved or retrieved later, making S3 an unnecessary overhead.
