Question

A company recently performed a lift and shift migration of its on-premises Oracle database workload to run on an Amazon EC2 memory optimized Linux instance. The EC2 Linux instance uses a 1 TB Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volume with 64,000 IOPS. The database storage performance after the migration is slower than the performance of the on-premises database. Which solution will improve storage performance?

Options

  • AAdd more Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volumes. Use OS commands to create a Logical
  • BIncrease the Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volume to more than 64,000 IOPS.
  • CIncrease the size of the Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volume to 2 TB.
  • DChange the EC2 Linux instance to a storage optimized instance type. Do not change the
