Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The company needs a storage solution that supports both structured and unstructured data, high durability, high availability, and HTTP/HTTPS access. Amazon S3 is specifically designed to meet these requirements, making it the most suitable choice. Other services like Amazon EFS, RDS, and Glacier address different use cases and do not fulfill all the criteria in the scenario.
- A. Correct.
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage service that provides high durability, availability, and accessibility over HTTP or HTTPS, making it ideal for storing large amounts of structured and unstructured data.
- B. Incorrect.
Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) is a file storage service for use with AWS compute services, but it is not designed for object storage or accessibility over HTTP or HTTPS.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) is a managed database service designed for structured data in relational databases, not for general-purpose object storage.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon Glacier is an archival storage service designed for infrequently accessed data with long retrieval times, which does not meet the requirement for high availability and immediate accessibility.
