1. 1

   Which EBS volume type is considered the best general-purpose choice for most workloads that require a balance of price and performance?

2. 2

   You have an application running on an EBS-backed EC2 instance that is experiencing high latency due to IOPS throttling. Your volume is a gp3 volume with 500 GB of storage. What is the most cost-effective way to increase IOPS without changing the volume type?

3. 3
