Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 346 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 346
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company has an aging network-attached storage (NAS) array in its data center. The NAS array presents SMB shares and NFS shares to client workstations. The company does not want to purchase a new NAS array. The company also does not want to incur the cost of renewing the NAS array’s support contract. Some of the data is accessed frequently, but much of the data is inactive.

A solutions architect needs to implement a solution that migrates the data to Amazon S3, uses S3 Lifecycle policies, and maintains the same look and feel for the client workstations. The solutions architect has identified AWS Storage Gateway as part of the solution.

Which type of storage gateway should the solutions architect provision to meet these requirements?

  • A. Volume Gateway
  • B. Tape Gateway
  • C. Amazon FSx File Gateway
  • D. Amazon S3 File Gateway

Selected Answer: D
Amazon S3 File Gateway provides on-premises applications with access to virtually unlimited cloud storage using NFS and SMB file interfaces. It seamlessly moves frequently accessed data to a low-latency cache while storing colder data in Amazon S3, using S3 Lifecycle policies to transition data between storage classes over time. In this case, the company's aging NAS array can be replaced with an Amazon S3 File Gateway that presents the same NFS and SMB shares to the client workstations. The data can then be migrated to Amazon S3 and managed using S3 Lifecycle policies

Amazon S3 File Gateway provides a file interface to objects stored in S3. It can be used for a file-based interface with S3, which allows the company to migrate their NAS array data to S3 while maintaining the same look and feel for client workstations. Amazon S3 File Gateway supports SMB and NFS protocols, which will allow clients to continue to access the data using these protocols. Additionally, Amazon S3 Lifecycle policies can be used to automate the movement of data to lower-cost storage tiers, reducing the storage cost of inactive data.

It provides an easy way to lift-and-shift file data from the existing NAS to Amazon S3. The S3 File Gateway presents SMB and NFS file shares that client workstations can access just like the NAS shares. Behind the scenes, it moves the file data to S3 storage, storing it durably and cost-effectively. S3 Lifecycle policies can be used to transition less frequently accessed data to lower-cost S3 storage tiers like S3 Glacier. From the client workstation perspective, access to files feels seamless and unchanged after migration to S3. The S3 File Gateway handles the underlying data transfers. It is a simple, low-cost gateway option tailored for basic file share migration use cases.
