PAS-C01 Technology Practice Question

Network Topology
$ aws ec2 describe-volumesvolume-ids vol-1234567890abcdef0{"content":"Refer to the exhibit.```\"Volumes\": [\"Attachments\": [\"InstanceId\": \"i-0a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8\",\"Device\": \"/dev/sdf\",\"State\": \"attached\",\"DeleteOnTermination\": false],\"AvailabilityZone\": \"us-east-1a\",\"Size\": 500,\"VolumeType\": \"gp3\",\"Iops\": 3000,\"Throughput\": 125,\"SnapshotId\": \"snap-0a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8\"```","description":"CLI output of a volume"}

Refer to the exhibit. An SAP administrator checks the configuration of an EBS volume. The volume is attached to an SAP HANA instance. What is the potential performance bottleneck?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The IOPS and throughput are too low for SAP HANA

The volume type is gp3 with 3000 IOPS and 125 MB/s throughput. SAP HANA requires high IOPS and throughput. With only 3000 IOPS and 125 MB/s, this volume may be a bottleneck for production HANA workloads. The DeleteOnTermination setting is not a performance issue. The size and snapshot are not immediate concerns.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    The IOPS and throughput are too low for SAP HANA

    Why this is correct

    SAP HANA typically requires higher IOPS and throughput than gp3 baseline.

  • ✗

    The volume is attached to an instance in a different Availability Zone

    Why it's wrong here

    The volume is in us-east-1a and attachment shows same AZ.

  • ✗

    The DeleteOnTermination flag is set to false

    Why it's wrong here

    DeleteOnTermination does not affect performance.

  • ✗

    The volume is not encrypted

    Why it's wrong here

    Encryption does not affect performance significantly.
