Question 8: Correct
Your company is designing a new application that will store and retrieve photos and videos. Which
of the following services should you recommend to be used as the underlying storage mechanism?
Amazon EBS
Amazon SQS
Amazon S3
(Correct)
Explanation
Amazon S3 is object storage built to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the
Internet. It’s a simple storage service that offers an extremely durable, highly available, and infinitely
scalable data storage infrastructure at very low costs. Amazon S3 can be used to
Media Hosting – Build a redundant, scalable, and highly available infrastructure that hosts video, photo,
or music uploads and downloads.
Backup and Storage – Provide data backup and storage services for others.
Hosting static websites – Host and manage static websites quickly and easily.
Deliver content globally - Use S3 in conjunction with CloudFront to distribute content globally with low
latency.
Hybrid cloud storage - Create a seamless connection between on-premises applications and Amazon S3
with AWS Storage Gateway in order to reduce your data center footprint, and leverage the scale,
reliability, and durability of AWS.
Amazon SQS is incorrect. Amazon SQS is not a storage service. It is a messaging queuing service that
can be used to send messages between application components. SQS enables you to decouple and scale
microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.
Amazon Instance store is incorrect. Amazon EC2 Instance Store provides temporary block-level storage
for your instance. Instance store is ideal for temporary storage of information that changes frequently,
such as buffers, caches, scratch data, and other temporary content, or for data that is replicated across a
fleet of instances, such as a load-balanced pool of web servers.
Amazon EBS is incorrect. Amazon EBS is not for storing images or videos. Amazon EBS is a block level
storage that can only be used as a drive for Amazon EC2 or Amazon RDS instances. Amazon EBS is
designed for application workloads that benefit from fine tuning for performance and capacity. Typical
use cases include Big Data analytics engines (like the Hadoop/HDFS ecosystem and Amazon EMR
clusters), relational and NoSQL databases (like Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL or Cassandra and
MongoDB), stream and log processing applications (like Kafka and Splunk), and data warehousing
applications (like Vertica and Teradata).
