A solutions architect is helping a company design storage for a high performance computing (HPC) environment that is based on Amazon Linux.The workload stores and processes a large number of engineering drawings that require shared storage.The company needs a solution that can support hundreds of AmazonEC2 instances.The solution also must provide sub-millisecond latencies.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Amazon EC2 instance store

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2)

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)

Amazon FSx for Lustre

Explanations:

Amazon EC2 instance store is ephemeral storage, suited for temporary data, not for shared storage across instances.

Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) offers high performance and low latency but is block storage and does not provide shared storage across multiple instances.

Amazon EFS is shared storage but is optimized for high availability and throughput rather than sub-millisecond latency, which is required for HPC workloads.

Amazon FSx for Lustre is a fully managed high-performance file system designed for HPC, providing sub-millisecond latency and scalable, shared storage, ideal for processing large datasets.
