AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 592

A user has launched an EBS optimized instance with EC2. Which of the below mentioned options is the correct statement?

Answer options

• A. It provides additional dedicated capacity for EBS IO
• B. The attached EBS will have greater storage capacity
• C. The user will have a PIOPS based EBS volume
• D. It will be launched on dedicated hardware in VPC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An EBS-optimized instance uses an optimized configuration stack and provides dedicated capacity for Amazon EBS I/O, minimizing contention with other network traffic. It does not automatically increase the storage capacity of the volume, mandate the use of PIOPS volumes, or launch the instance on dedicated hardware.
