AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company operates a data center with applications requiring low-latency access to frequently used files. The company needs to expand its storage capacity for backups and archival data without investing in additional on-premises infrastructure. They want to leverage cloud services to offload storage while maintaining seamless access to their files. Which solution should they implement to meet these requirements?
Implement Amazon Storage Gateway File Gateway to integrate on-premises storage with cloud storage.
Store data in Amazon S3 Glacier for archiving purposes.
Use Amazon DataSync to synchronize data between on-premises storage and cloud storage.
Enable Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration to speed up data transfers to cloud storage.
Implementing Amazon Storage Gateway File Gateway enables integration between on-premises applications and cloud storage by providing a file interface backed by Amazon S3. It allows the company to store files in Amazon S3 while caching frequently accessed data locally, ensuring low-latency access for applications. This hybrid solution eliminates the need for additional on-premises storage infrastructure and offloads data to the cloud, meeting both the expansion and performance requirements. Using Amazon DataSync is designed for data transfer and migration tasks rather than providing continuous integration with local applications, since it does not maintain seamless access to the files once they land to AWS. Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration speeds up data transfers to Amazon S3 but does not offer local caching or a file interface for on-premises applications. Storing data in Amazon S3 Glacier is suitable for archiving data that is infrequently accessed and does not meet the need for low-latency access to active files.
