Security Architecture

A company moved a critical workload from its data center to the cloud. The workload uses a very large data set that needs computationally intensive data processing. The business unit using the workload projects this growth pattern:

  • Storage requirements will double every six months.
  • Computational requirements will vary throughout the year.
  • Average computational requirements will double each year.

Which of the following should the company do to meet the business unit's requirements?

  • A Deploy a cloud-based CDN for storage and a load balancer for compute.
  • B Combine compute and storage in vertically autoscaling mode.
  • C Implement a load balancer for computing and storage resources.
  • D Plan for a horizontally scaling computing and storage infrastructure.
Explanation

Horizontally scalable compute can add and remove parallel capacity to accommodate fluctuating processing demand and sustained annual growth. Storage must also scale independently to accommodate the dataset doubling every six months. AWS guidance recommends dynamically scaling compute capacity to match changing demand and identifies horizontally scalable components as replicas that can be added as needed.
