Question: When launching an EC2 instance with an instance type that supports instance storage, what use case is best for instance storage?

  1. Use the instance storage to serve temporary files that require low I/O latency.
  2. Use the instance storage to handle files uploaded by your users. Since it is more secure than an EBS volume, you can isolate any malicious files from infecting your server.
  3. Instance storage is faster than EBS volumes, so install the root of the operating system on this volume to speed up server performance.
  4. Instance storage is a deprecated option for storage and should not be used.

Answer: The correct answer of the above question is Option A:Use the instance storage to serve temporary files that require low I/O latency.
