You’re planning to host an application on an Amazon Linux EC2 Instance. You have a requirement to reduce the amount of time it takes to process packets on the EC2 instance. Which of the following can be used for this requirement?

Answer options:

A.Use an Instance that supports the Windows AMI.
B.Consider using the Data Plane Development Kit.
C.Consider using Cluster placement groups for the Linux EC2 instances.
D.Consider using an MTU of 12,000.

Answer - B
DPDK is the Data Plane Development Kit that consists of libraries to accelerate packet processing workloads running on a wide variety of CPU architectures.

Option A is INCORRECT because the question is referring to Linux EC2 instances.
Option C is INCORRECT because this strategy only enables workloads to achieve the low-latency network performance necessary for tightly-coupled node-to-node communication typical of HPC applications. However, this cannot ensure "packet performance" as noted in the question.
Option D is INCORRECT because just increasing the MTU to 12,000 will not ensure "packet performance" as the question does not specifically say to increase just the MTU alone.
