Question

Users are periodically experiencing slow response times from a relational database. The database runs on a burstable Amazon EC2 instance with a 350 GB General Purpose SSD (gp2) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. A SysOps administrator monitors the EC2 instance in Amazon CloudWatch and observes that the VolumeReadOps metric drops to less than 10% of its peak value during the periods of slow response. What should the SysOps administrator do to ensure consistently high performance?

Options

  • AConvert the gp2 volume to a General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volume.
  • BConvert the gp2 volume to a Cold HDD (sc1) EBS volume.
  • CConvert the EC2 instance to a memory optimized instance type.
  • DActivate unlimited mode on the EC2 instance.
