A team is mapping AWS storage services to the kind of storage each one provides so they pick the right tool for each workload. Which two statements correctly match an AWS storage service to its storage type? (Select TWO.)
- AAmazon S3 is an object storage service that holds files as objects in buckets and is reached over the network through an API. Correct
- BAmazon EBS provides block storage volumes that attach to a single Amazon EC2 instance and behave like a raw disk. Correct
- CAmazon EFS provides block storage volumes that can attach to only one Amazon EC2 instance at a time, just like a local disk.
- DAmazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive is a block storage service that attaches directly to running Amazon EC2 instances as a boot volume.
- EAmazon FSx provides object storage buckets that applications read and write only through the Amazon S3 API endpoints.
Why A is correct: Amazon S3 stores data as objects inside buckets and is accessed over the network through its API, which is exactly what object storage means.
Why B is correct: Amazon EBS delivers block-level volumes that attach to an EC2 instance and present as a disk, which is the definition of block storage.
Why C is wrong: It is tempting because EFS is EC2 storage, but EFS is a shared file system reachable by many instances at once, not single-attach block storage.
Why D is wrong: This sounds plausible as low-cost storage, but Glacier Deep Archive is an S3 archival object class, not a block volume you boot an instance from.
Why E is wrong: It is tempting as managed AWS storage, but Amazon FSx offers fully managed file systems over file protocols, not S3-style object buckets.
