Option A: Amazon EBS for maximum performance, Amazon S3 for durable data storage, and Amazon S3 Glacier for archival storage EBS is great for high-performance storage, so this is a good choice for the 10 TB video processing. S3 offers the required durability for the 300 TB of media content. S3 Glacier is a suitable option for the archival storage (900 TB) as it’s low-cost and durable.
At least 10 TB of storage with the maximum possible I/O performance for video processing. Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store): Provides persistent block storage volumes that can be attached to EC2 instances. It offers various volume types, including Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1/io2 Block Express) and General Purpose SSD (gp3), which are designed for high-performance workloads like video processing. EBS volumes are highly available within an Availability Zone. Amazon EC2 Instance Store: Provides temporary block-level storage for your EC2 instance. It offers very high random I/O performance because it's physically attached to the host machine. However, the data persists only for the lifetime of the instance. If the instance stops or terminates, the data is lost. This makes it unsuitable for long-term video processing data unless you have a robust way to move data in and out quickly and handle transient failures.
Explanation: 1. Maximum I/O Performance for Video Processing (10 TB) Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) provides high-performance block storage that can scale to meet IOPS-intensive workloads like video processing. You can use EBS io2 or io2 Block Express volumes for maximum performance and durability. 2. Durable Storage for Media Content (300 TB) Amazon S3 offers 11 nines (99.999999999%) of durability, making it ideal for storing large volumes of media content that needs to be safely preserved and frequently accessed. 3. Archival Storage (900 TB) Amazon S3 Glacier is built for long-term archival at very low cost. It's perfect for media content that is rarely accessed but must be retained for long periods.
