Which solution will provide the LEAST disruption with MINIMAL effort?

Answer options

• A. Create a snapshot and restore it to a larger gp2 volume.
• B. Create a RAID 0 with another new gp2 volume to increase capacity.
• C. Leverage the Elastic Volumes feature of EBS to increase gp2 volume size.
• D. Write a script to migrate data to a larger gp2 volume.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because leveraging the Elastic Volumes feature allows for seamless resizing of the volume without downtime. Options A and D involve additional steps and potential downtime, while option B introduces complexity with RAID configuration, making them less efficient solutions.
