The process performance depends on the temporary storage performance. What would be the fastest storage option for holding the temporary files?

A company has a custom application running on an Amazon EC instance that:

• Reads a large amount of data from Amazon S3
• Performs a multi-stage analysis
• Writes the results to Amazon DynamoDB

The application writes a significant number of large, temporary files during the multi-stage analysis. The process performance depends on the temporary storage performance.

What would be the fastest storage option for holding the temporary files?

  • Multiple Amazon S3 buckets with Transfer Acceleration for storage.
  • Multiple Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) drives with Provisioned IOPS and EBS optimization.
  • Multiple Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) volumes using the Network File System version 4.1 (NFSv4.1) protocol.
  • Multiple instance store volumes with software RAID 0.
