Actual exam question for Amazon's PAS-C01 exam
Question #: 42
Topic #: 2
[All PAS-C01 Questions]

A company has deployed its SAP applications into multiple Availability Zones in the same AWS Region To accommodate storage of media files database table export and import and files dropped by third-party tools the company has mounted Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file systems between the SAP instances The company needs to retrieve the files quickly for installations updates and system refreshes

Over time the EFS file systems have grown exponentially to multiple terabytes An SAP solutions architect must optimize storage cost for the tiles that are stored in Amazon EFS.

Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST administrative overhead?

Manual scanning? No thanks, that sounds like a nightmare!

I’m not sure about moving to Glacier, isn’t retrieval slow?

EFS can get pricey with multiple terabytes.

I recall that S3 Glacier vault lock policies are more about compliance than cost savings. I wonder if that's really necessary for this scenario. It feels like there might be simpler solutions available.

Applying a lifecycle policy on EFS sounds familiar. I think we talked about how it can automate moving files to Standard-IA, which might be a good balance between cost and access speed.

I think moving files to S3 Glacier Deep Archive could save costs, but I'm not sure about the retrieval times. We practiced a similar question about storage tiers, and I remember Glacier being slower.

I remember discussing the importance of minimizing manual tasks in our study group. Scanning files manually seems like a lot of work, so I doubt that's the best option here.

Scanning the files manually sounds like a lot of work, especially with terabytes of data. I'd probably try to automate as much of this process as possible, using tools or scripts to analyze file usage and apply the appropriate storage policies. That should minimize the administrative overhead.

Okay, I think I've got a plan. I'd start by applying a lifecycle policy to move the less frequently accessed files to EFS Standard-IA. That way, I can keep them readily available if needed, but at a lower cost. If there are truly cold files, then I might consider moving them to S3 Glacier as well.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the tradeoffs here. While moving files to Glacier or EFS Standard-IA could save money, I'm worried about the potential impact on retrieval times for critical files. I might need to do some more research on the performance characteristics of those options.

This seems like a straightforward optimization problem. I'd probably start by looking at the file usage patterns and identifying any files that are rarely accessed. Moving those to a lower-cost storage like S3 Glacier or EFS Standard-IA could be a good way to reduce costs.

Option A? Really? Who has time to manually sift through terabytes of files these days? I'd rather teach my dog to do it than do it myself!

Option D is like bringing a sledgehammer to a screw problem. S3 Glacier and vault locks are way too complicated for this use case. Keep it simple with Option C!

Hmm, Option B might work, but moving everything to Glacier Deep Archive could be overkill if we need to access the files regularly. C is the better balance of cost savings and accessibility.

I agree, Option C is the way to go. It leverages the built-in EFS lifecycle management features, which should be easier to manage than manually moving files or setting up S3 Glacier policies.
