Which TWO statements correctly match AWS storage services to their type? (Select TWO.)
Choose 2 answers.
A.Amazon S3 — object storage
Correct. S3 stores objects in buckets.
B.Amazon EBS — block storage attached to EC2
Correct. EBS volumes are block devices for a single EC2 instance.
C.Amazon EFS — object storage for archives
EFS is shared FILE storage (NFS), not object/archive.
D.Amazon S3 Glacier — block storage for databases
Glacier is archival object storage tiers, not block storage.
E.Amazon EBS — shared file storage for many instances
EBS is block storage — EFS is the shared file answer.
Why this answer
Object (S3), block (EBS, instance store), file (EFS, FSx) — the three storage types are exam staples. Glacier is archive object storage, not block; EBS attaches to one instance (mostly), not shared file access.
