SAP-C02 Question 315
Single answerA company is building a real-time video processing application that requires high GPU performance for rendering and encoding. The application will run 24/7 and needs to minimize costs while ensuring consistent performance. Which EC2 instance family is the most suitable for this workload?
- A
G5 instances
- B
T3 instances
- C
R6g instances
- D
C7g instances
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The G5 instance family is designed specifically for GPU-intensive applications, including video rendering and encoding, and provides the consistent high performance required for this 24/7 workload. Other instance families are not optimized for GPU performance and would not meet the requirements of this use case.
- A. Correct.
G5 instances are GPU-based instances optimized for graphics-intensive workloads such as video rendering, machine learning, and gaming, making them the best fit for this use case.
- B. Incorrect.
T3 instances are general-purpose burstable instances designed for workloads with low or variable CPU usage. They are not suitable for GPU-intensive tasks like video processing.
- C. Incorrect.
R6g instances are memory-optimized instances designed for workloads requiring high memory, such as databases or in-memory caching. They are not designed for GPU-intensive tasks.
- D. Incorrect.
C7g instances are compute-optimized instances for CPU-intensive applications like high-performance computing and analytics. They are not suitable for GPU workloads.
