Question
An SAP engineer is designing a storage configuration for an SAP S/4HANA production system on AWS. The system will run on an Amazon EC2 instance with a memory size of 2 TB. The SAP HANA sizing report recommends storage of 2,400 GB for data and 512 GB for logs. The system requires 9,000 IOPS for data storage and throughput of 300 MBps for log storage. Which Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume configuration will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
Options
- AFor /hana/data, use two 900 GB Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volumes that are configured
- BFor /hana/data, use one 2,400 GB General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volume that is configured with
- CFor /hana/data use two 1,200 GB Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes that are configured
- DFor /hana/data, use two 1,200 GB General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volumes that are configured

Explanation
Specifically, Amazon EBS general-purpose SSDs (gp3) are user-specifiable in terms of IOPS and throughput and offer a good balance of performance and price. Provisioned IOPS SSDs (io1, io2) are ideal for high-load workloads that require high IOPS, but cost correspondingly more. This requirement calls for 9,000 IOPS for data storage and 300 MBps throughput for log storage. To meet these performance requirements while keeping costs down, gp3 volumes are the best choice. The storage requirements of 2,400 GB for /hana/data and 512 GB for /hana/log can also be provided by a single gp3 volume.
