When deploying NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) workload characteristic is used to size an application that uses large sequential I/O?
AnswerD
ExplanationWhen deploying NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP on Amazon Web Services (AWS), for applications that use large sequential I/O, the key workload characteristic used for sizing Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is MBps (megabytes per second). Large sequential I/O workloads, such as video streaming or backup operations, typically require high throughput rather than high IOPS (input/output operations per second).
Capacity (A) and IOPS (B) are important for other types of workloads, such as databases, while CPU (C) is related to processing power but not specific to large sequential I/O. For these workloads, throughput, measured in MBps, is the critical sizing metric.
