Amazon Exam DBS-C01 Topic 3 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's DBS-C01 exam
Question #: 83
Topic #: 3
[All DBS-C01 Questions]

A database specialist is planning to migrate a 4 TB Microsoft SQL Server DB instance from on premises to Amazon RDS for SQL Server. The database is primarily used for nightly batch processing.

Which RDS storage option meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

General Purpose SSD storage is a cost-effective storage option that is ideal for a broad range of workloads running on medium-sized DB instances1.General Purpose storage is best suited for development and testing environments1.Since the database is primarily used for nightly batch processing, it does not require high I/O performance or low latency that Provisioned IOPS storage offers12.Magnetic storage and Throughput Optimized HDD are not recommended for new storage needs, and they have lower storage limits than General Purpose SSD and Provisioned IOPS SSD1. Therefore, General Purpose SSD storage meets the requirements most cost-effectively.

Haha, classic database dilemma - do you go for speed or do you go for savings? I'm with Darell on this one, General Purpose SSD seems like the sweet spot. You get decent performance without breaking the bank.

True, but it might be more costly compared to General Purpose SSD storage.

But what about Provisioned IOPS storage? Wouldn't that ensure better performance for the nightly batch processing?

Hold up, what about Throughput Optimized HDD? It's a lot cheaper than the SSD options, and for a mostly batch-oriented workload, the reduced IOPS might not be a big deal. Plus, you get a ton of storage for your money.

I don't know, man. Provisioned IOPS is great, but it can get really expensive, especially for a 4 TB database. General Purpose SSD might be the way to go - it's a good balance of performance and cost-effectiveness.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. A 4 TB database for batch processing definitely needs some serious storage horsepower. I'm leaning towards Provisioned IOPS storage - the consistent high performance should be perfect for those nightly batch jobs.
