Actual exam question for Amazon's DBS-C01 exam
Question #: 87
Topic #: 7
[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.

Definitely, the Throughput Optimized HDD seems like the way to go. It should provide enough performance for the batch processing without breaking the bank. Although, I do wonder how much Amazon charges for their 'Bulk Discount' on hard drives - maybe we should look into that.

Yeah, I agree. Provisioned IOPS is probably too much for a nightly batch processing workload. I'd be leaning towards the Throughput Optimized HDD option as the most cost-effective choice here.

You're right, the performance needs are key here. I'm thinking either Provisioned IOPS or Throughput Optimized HDD could work, but Provisioned IOPS might be overkill and more expensive than necessary.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The database is 4 TB and primarily used for nightly batch processing, so I'd say we need to look at the performance requirements more than just the storage size.
