Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 409
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A solutions architect must migrate a Windows Internet Information Services (IIS) web application to AWS.

Which replacement to the on-premises file share is MOST resilient and durable?

  • A. Migrate the file share to Amazon RDS.
  • B. Migrate the file share to AWS Storage Gateway.

Selected Answer: C
The most resilient and durable replacement for the on-premises file share in this scenario would be Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. Amazon FSx is a fully managed Windows file system service that is built on Windows Server and provides native support for the SMB protocol. It is designed to be highly available and durable, with built-in backup and restore capabilities. It is also fully integrated with AWS security services, providing encryption at rest and in transit, and it can be configured to meet compliance standards.

Migrating the file share to Amazon RDS or AWS Storage Gateway is not appropriate as these services are designed for database workloads and block storage respectively, and do not provide native support for the SMB protocol. Migrating the file share to Amazon EFS (Linux ONLY) could be an option, but Amazon FSx for Windows File Server would be more appropriate in this case because it is specifically designed for Windows file shares and provides better performance for Windows applications.

Selected Answer: D
Amazon EFS is a scalable and fully-managed file storage service that is designed to provide high availability and durability. It can be accessed by multiple EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones simultaneously. Additionally, it offers automatic and instantaneous data replication across different availability zones within a region, which makes it resilient to failures.

EFS is a wrong choice because it can only work with Linux instances. That application has a Windows web server , so its OS is Windows and EFS cannot connect to it
