A user has provisioned 2000 IOPS to the EBS volume. The application hosted on that EBS is
experiencing less IOPS than provisioned. Which of the below mentioned options does not affect
the IOPS of the volume?

A.
The application does not have enough IO for the volume

B.
The instance is EBS optimized

C.
The EC2 instance has 10 Gigabit Network connectivity

D.
The volume size is too large

Explanation:
When the application does not experience the expected IOPS or throughput of the PIOPS EBS
volume that was provisioned, the possible root cause could be that the EC2 bandwidth is the
limiting factor and the instance might not be either EBS-optimized or might not have 10 Gigabit
network connectivity. Another possible cause for not experiencing the expected IOPS could also
be that the user is not driving enough I/O to the EBS volumes. The size of the volume may not
affect IOPS.
