AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 62

You have identified network throughput as a bottleneck on your m1.small EC2 instance when uploading data Into Amazon S3 In the same region.
How do you remedy this situation?

Answer options

• A. Add an additional ENI
• B. Change to a larger Instance
• C. Use DirectConnect between EC2 and S3
• D. Use EBS PIOPS on the local volume

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as upgrading to a larger instance provides better network performance and higher throughput capabilities. Option A, adding an additional ENI, does not significantly improve the network throughput for S3 uploads. Option C, using DirectConnect, is typically for hybrid cloud setups and is not necessary for S3 in the same region. Option D involves storage performance, which does not directly address network throughput issues.
