For a content delivery platform, an architect is reviewing EFS requirement set 9. Which design choice best fits the requirement while following AWS architectural best practices?

Answer choices

2. B. Use long-lived access keys in application configuration so services can call AWS APIs directly.
3. C. Disable monitoring until the workload reaches steady production traffic.
4. D. Provide shared posix file storage across multiple compute instances.

Correct Answer

D. Provide shared posix file storage across multiple compute instances.

Explanation
