A parks department shares CAD drawings on Amazon EFS. Traffic is usually low, with short bursts when planners open large plan sets. How should the architect control EFS throughput cost?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Leaving EFS stuck on always-max provisioned throughput is like leaving every park sprinkler wide open all winter. Let throughput flex with the bursts—pay for the rush when planners pile on, not for idle hours.
Full Explanation
Amazon EFS offers throughput modes that affect cost. Always-on maximum provisioned throughput wastes spend when utilization is low. Elastic throughput (and careful use of bursting/provisioned only when required) aligns cost with demand for bursty municipal CAD shares. Instance store is ephemeral and not a shared file system replacement; disabling encryption is a security anti-pattern and not a cost control for throughput.
