Question

A SysOps administrator must configure a resilient tier of Amazon EC2 instances for a high performance computing (HPC) application. The HPC application requires minimum latency between nodes. Which actions should the SysOps administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Options

  • ACreate an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EPS) file system.
  • BCreate a Multi-AZ Network Load Balancer in front of the EC2 instances.
  • CPlace the EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group within a single subnet.
  • DLaunch the EC2 instances into a cluster placement group.
  • ELaunch the EC2 instances into a partition placement group.

Explanation

Cluster - packs instances close together inside an Availability Zone. This strategy enables workloads to achieve the low-latency network performance necessary for tightly-coupled node-to- node communication that is typical of high-performance computing (HPC) applications. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/placement-groups.html
