Question
A company runs a workload on a high performance computing (HPC) cluster on AWS. The workload is Linux-based and uses three Amazon EC2 instances. Each EC2 instance has a 10 TiB Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. A SysOps administrator determines that the current storage is not meeting the workload's performance needs. The workload needs a durable file store that has throughput of 100,000 IOPS. Which solution will meet these requirements?
Options
- ACreate an Amazon ElastiCache (Redis OSS) instance. Keep the append-only file (AOF) feature
- BCreate an Amazon S3 bucket in the same AWS Region where the HPC cluster is deployed.
- CCreate an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system. Configure an appropriate number of IOPS.
- DCreate an Amazon S3 bucket in the same AWS Region where the HPC cluster is deployed.

Explanation
Amazon FSx for Lustre is designed for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads that require low latency and high throughput. It provides a fully managed, durable file system that can be configured to deliver high IOPS and throughput, meeting the workload's need for 100,000 IOPS. This solution is optimal for HPC clusters running Linux-based workloads and offers the performance characteristics required by the application.
