   Correct answer is B or C, But, I’d use C.
   Because instanceID is is more uniformly distributed string than YYYY or HH or sequential.

   The correct answer is D, HH will give some randomness to start with instead of “instaneId” where the first always character starts with ‘i'(i-1234567890abcdef0 or i-057c9415db5ca3158)

      But here the first 17 characters will not change for all PUT operations in any given hour, which will put a lot of pressure on a single partition. Therefore option B should be the correct answer: Here only the first 2 characters (‘i-‘ at the start of the instance id) will not change over time.

   D is correct. HH is the randomness cause it changes hourly.
