PERF 3. How do you store, manage, and access data in your workload?

The optimal data management solution for a particular system varies based on the kind of data type (block, file, or object), access patterns (random or sequential), required throughput, frequency of access (online, offline, archival), frequency of update (WORM, dynamic), and availability and durability constraints. Well-Architected workloads use purpose-built data stores which allow different features to improve performance.
