Solutions Architect Associate (Page 57)

A solutions architect is designing a solution that involves orchestrating a series of Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) task types running onAmazon EC2 instances that are part of an ECS cluster.The output and state data for all tasks needs to be stored.The amount of data output by each task is approximately 10 MB, and there could be hundreds of tasks running at a time.The system should be optimized for high-frequency reading and writing.As old outputs are archived and deleted, the storage size is not expected to exceed 1 TB.Which storage solution should the solutions architect recommend?Read More →
