a. Christina's team leader asked her to store block-level data in AWS storage services. Which of the following AWS storage services should be used by Christina to store block-level data?
Block-Level Storage: Block-level storage is a type of data storage typically used for storing file systems and handling raw storage volumes. It allows for individual management of data blocks1.
Amazon EBS: Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides high-performance block storage service designed for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for both throughput and transaction-intensive workloads at any scale2.
Data Types: Amazon EBS is suitable for structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data, making it a versatile choice for Christina's organization's needs2.
Use Cases: Common use cases for Amazon EBS include databases, enterprise applications, containerized applications, big data analytics engines, file systems, and media workflows2.
Exclusion of Other Options: Amazon Glacier is for long-term archival storage, Amazon EFS is for file storage, and Amazon S3 is for object storage. These services do not provide block-level storage like Amazon EBS does3.
