Correct answer: Use Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Multi-Attach.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes with Amazon EBS Multi-Attach. Amazon EBS Multi-Attach allows multiple EC2 Nitro-based instances in the same Availability Zone to concurrently attach to a single io2 Block Express volume. This provides shared block storage for high availability. io2 Block Express volumes are designed for high-performance, mission-critical applications that require high IOPS and throughput, making them suitable for this use case. General Purpose SSD (gp3) and gp2 EBS volumes do not support Multi-Attach. Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) EBS volumes also do not support Multi-Attach and are not designed for the high-performance, low-latency requirements typically associated with shared block storage for applications needing high availability.
