A company wants to use high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure on AWS for financial risk modeling. The company’s HPC workloads run on Linux. Each HPC workflow runs on hundreds of Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, is short-lived, and generates thousands of output files that are ultimately stored in persistent storage for analytics and long-term future use. The company seeks a cloud storage solution that permits the copying of on-premises data to long-term persistent storage to make data available for processing by all EC2 instances. The solution should also be a high performance file system that is integrated with persistent storage to read and write datasets and output files. Which combination of AWS services meets these requirements?

Lustre is the most suitable when HPC is required.
Chose A3
Ans A - HPC so its FSx and Lustre
3
A is the answer because Amazon FSx for Lustre provides a high-performance, scalable file system optimized for compute-intensive workloads like HPC.
