A municipality must archive sealed court recordings that require extreme durability across devices and facilities, not a single server disk. Which storage choice best matches that durability need?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of S3 as a vault that spreads copies across many buildings, while one EBS disk is still one building’s problem. Archives that must never vanish belong on object storage with that durability design. Instance store and container scratch space are the opposite idea.
Full Explanation
Amazon S3 is designed for 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability by redundantly storing objects across multiple devices and facilities in a Region. That durability profile fits critical municipal archives better than a single EBS volume, instance store, or ephemeral container filesystem. EBS is AZ-scoped block storage for an instance; it does not match S3’s object-durability model for long-lived archives. Select storage based on durability requirements, not only on familiarity with block disks.
