   A social media company is designing an ECS solution for user-generated content. The content is written-heavy with a 3:1 write-to-read ratio. The current data store is 100 TB with 10% monthly growth. The architect must size the solution for 18 months. Which capacity planning approach is MOST appropriate?

   • AProject the 100 TB forward at 10% monthly growth for 18 months, then add erasure coding overhead
   • BUse 100 TB as the base and add 20% for erasure coding overhead only
   • CUse the 3:1 write-to-read ratio to calculate capacity instead of the growth rate
   • DDouble the current 100 TB to account for the 18-month period

   A multinational bank is designing an ECS solution for cross-border transaction records. The bank must keep data in the country of origin for regulatory compliance, but the operations team wants a single global namespace for simplicity. The architect must reconcile these constraints. Which design decision is MOST appropriate?

   • ADeploy a single ECS cluster in one country and replicate data to other countries
   • BDeploy separate ECS clusters in each country and use a federated namespace for global access
   • CDeploy a single ECS cluster in a central location and use access controls to restrict data access by country
   • DUse a public cloud object storage service in each country instead of ECS

   • CThe retention period for archived data
   • DThe geographic location of the data center
