Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Archive
Why it's wrong here
Archive storage tier is available for Object Storage and backup destinations, not for active Block Volume attachments requiring ultra-low latency IOPS.
- ✓
Ultra High Performance
Why this is correct
Ultra High Performance provides maximum IOPS and throughput per GB for demanding database workloads.
- ✗
Lower Cost
Why it's wrong here
Lower Cost provides fewer IOPS per GB and is meant for boot volumes or infrequently accessed storage.
- ✗
Balanced
Why it's wrong here
Balanced is designed for workloads with consistent performance needs like standard development environments.
