Exam AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate topic 1 question 296 discussion

A company hosts a Windows-based file server on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones. The current setup does not allow application servers to access files simultaneously from the EC2 fleet.

Which solution will allow this access in the MOST operationally efficient way?

  • A. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Multi-AZ file system. Copy the files to the EFS file system. Connect the EFS file system to mount points on the application servers.
  • B. Create an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server Multi-AZ file system. Copy the files to the Amazon FSx file system. Adjust the connections from the application servers to use the share that the Amazon FSx file system exposes.
  • C. Create an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume that has EBS Multi-Attach enabled. Create an Auto Scaling group for the Windows file server. Use a script in the file server's user data to attach the SharedFileAccess tag to the EBS volume during launch.
  • D. Create two Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file systems. Configure Distributed File System (DFS) replication between the file systems. Copy the files to the Amazon FSx file systems. Adjust the connections from the application servers to use the shares that the Amazon FSx file systems expose.

Selected Answer: D
Options A and B involve using Amazon EFS and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, respectively, but the DFS replication for synchronization between file systems is a key feature for simultaneous access in multiple Availability Zones, making option D more suitable for the specified requirements.

A is incorrect because talks about EFS in general. C is incorrect because EBS Multi-Attach only works for instances in the same AZ. D is incorrect because Distributed File System (DFS) replication applies only for regions. B is the correct answer. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/how-to-replicate-amazon-fsx-file-server-data-across-aws-regions/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/delivering-instant-data-sharing-with-multi-attach-enabled-amazon-ebs/
