Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 topic 1 question 110 discussion

I think this question is a little bit out of scope for this exam, but the AWS S3 File Gateway documentation specifically mentions NFS. You probably could also do C, but I think D is the "Best" answer A. Tape Gateway: Is used for archiving data to Amazon S3 and Glacier. It is not designed for NFS workloads or migrating on-premises file-based workloads. B. Volume Gateway: Is used for block storage volumes and might not be the most suitable option for NFS file workloads. It's more focused on block storage solutions. C. Amazon FSx File Gateway: Provides a file interface to Amazon FSx file systems, which is compatible with Windows file servers. However, it may not be the optimal solution for migrating NFS workloads to AWS. D. Amazon S3 File Gateway: Supports a file interface into Amazon S3 and allows storing and retrieving objects in Amazon S3 using industry-standard file protocols such as NFS. It is designed for scenarios where you want to integrate on-premises file-based applications with Amazon S3, making it suitable for migrating NFS workloads to AWS.

D. Amazon S3 File Gateway: Supports a file interface into Amazon S3 and allows storing and retrieving objects in Amazon S3 using industry-standard file protocols such as NFS. It is designed for scenarios where you want to integrate on-premises file-based applications with Amazon S3, making it suitable for migrating NFS workloads to AWS.

If the company is migrating an NFS-based workload (Network File System) from on-premises to AWS, Amazon FSx File Gateway is the best option. It is specifically designed to provide on-premises access to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server or Amazon FSx for Lustre file systems, which can support NFS protocols for file-based workloads. Amazon FSx File Gateway enables seamless access to file data stored in Amazon FSx file systems via standard file protocols like NFS, which is ideal for companies migrating NFS workloads. D. Amazon S3 File Gateway Amazon S3 File Gateway provides access to Amazon S3 via file protocols like NFS and SMB, but it is mainly used for storing files in Amazon S3 and is not optimized for NFS workloads like Amazon FSx File Gateway. It may not provide the same level of performance and features needed for full NFS-based workloads.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pt_br/filegateway/latest/filefsxw/what-is-file-fsxw.html Amazon FSx File Gateway (FSx File Gateway) is a new File Gateway type that provides low latency and efficient access to in-cloud FSx for Windows File Server file shares from your on-premises facility. If you maintain on-premises file storage because of latency or bandwidth requirements, you can instead use FSx File Gateway for seamless access to fully managed, highly reliable, and virtually unlimited Windows file shares provided in the AWS Cloud by FSx for Windows File Server.

D. Amazon S3 File Gateway

The correct answer to this question is C. Amazon FSx File Gateway. Amazon FSx File Gateway is designed to seamlessly move your NFS workloads to AWS. It provides low-latency access to fully managed file shares in the cloud, supporting file-based protocols such as NFS (Network File System) and SMB (Server Message Block). This makes it ideal for migrating and extending on-premises NFS workloads to AWS. Amazon S3 File Gateway: This gateway provides file-level storage but stores files in Amazon S3, primarily for object storage. It’s not meant for migrating active NFS workloads where file system compatibility and performance are critical. Amazon FSx File Gateway is the most suitable choice for migrating NFS-based workloads to AWS.

File Gateway allows you to store and retrieve objects in Amazon S3 using industry-standard file protocols such as NFS and SMB. Here are the key features and benefits that make it suitable for migrating an NFS workload: NFS Support: File Gateway supports the NFS protocol, which is ideal for applications that are already using NFS on-premises. This ensures compatibility and ease of migration. Seamless Integration with S3: Data written to the File Gateway is stored as objects in Amazon S3, providing scalable, durable, and secure storage.

Amazon FSx File Gateway optimizes on-premises access to fully managed, highly reliable file shares in Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. The company wants to migrate its NFS (Linux) on-premises workload to AWS, it means the answer is D.

D Amazon S3 File Gateway – Amazon S3 File Gateway supports a file interface into Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and combines a service and a virtual software appliance. By using this combination, you can store and retrieve objects in Amazon S3 using industry-standard file protocols such as Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB). You deploy the gateway into your on-premises environment as a virtual machine (VM) running on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), or as a hardware appliance that you order from your preferred reseller. You can also deploy the Storage Gateway VM in VMware Cloud on AWS, or as an AMI in Amazon EC2. The gateway provides access to objects in S3 as files or file share mount points. With a S3 File Gateway, you can do the following: You can store and retrieve files directly using the NFS version 3 or 4.1 protocol.

To migrate an NFS (Network File System) workload from on-premises to AWS, the company should use Amazon FSx File Gateway.

D is correct Amazon S3 File Gateway provides a seamless way to connect to the cloud in order to store application data files and backup images as durable objects in Amazon S3 cloud storage. Amazon S3 File Gateway offers SMB or NFS-based access to data in Amazon S3 with local caching. It can be used for on-premises data-intensive Amazon EC2-based applications that need file protocol access to S3 object storage. https://aws.amazon.com/es/storagegateway/file/s3/

C is correct because NFS is used for file sharing purpose as well as FSx but S3 is used for file storing.

The correct answer is C NFS migration to AWS: Amazon FSx File Gateway is the ideal choice. Seamless integration: Supports NFS protocol for existing clients and applications. Managed service: Eliminates on-premises storage and simplifies management. High performance and scalability: Handles demanding workloads smoothly. Other options and their limitations: Tape Gateway: For long-term archival, not active files. Volume Gateway: Requires additional configuration for NFS. Amazon S3 File Gateway: Focuses on file sharing across clients, not NFS.

C is correct because NFS is used for file sharing purpose as well as FSx but S3 is used for file storing.

FSx is wrong as it does not support NFS
