Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
Question #: 807
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions]

A company has an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database that writes a nightly 200 GB export to a local drive. The company wants to move the backups to more robust cloud storage on Amazon S3. The company has set up a 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises data center and AWS.
Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

  • A. Create a new S3 bucket. Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway within the VPC that is connected to the Direct Connect connection. Create a new SMB file share. Write nightly database exports to the new SMB file share.
  • B. Create an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server Single-AZ file system within the VPC that is connected to the Direct Connect connection. Create a new SMB file share. Write nightly database exports to an SMB file share on the Amazon FSx file system. Enable nightly backups.
  • C. Create an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server Multi-AZ file system within the VPC that is connected to the Direct Connect connection. Create a new SMB file share. Write nightly database exports to an SMB file share on the Amazon FSx file system. Enable nightly backups.
  • D. Create a new S3 bucket. Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway within the VPC that is connected to the Direct Connect connection. Create a new SMB file share. Write nightly database exports to the new SMB file share on the volume gateway, and automate copies of this data to an S3 bucket.

A is correct because AWS Storage Gateway connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage to provide seamless integration with data security features between your on-premises IT environment and the AWS storage infrastructure. You can use the service to store data in the Amazon Web Services Cloud for scalable and cost-effective storage that helps maintain data security. AWS Storage Gateway offers file-based File Gateways (Amazon S3 File and Amazon FSx File), volume-based (Cached and Stored), and tape-based storage solutions.

Correct answer is D. Here the goal is "backups to more robust cloud storage on Amazon S3". So first take backup on SMB and then move it to S3.

Selected Answer: A
A - seems to be a good option. D seems overkill - copy data to the file share attached via volume gateway, then copy that data again to s3. - Volume gateway is already hosted on s3 as a backend? And Two lots of copies are probably going to be more expensive than One (Question A) B&C are likely expensive.

Only A is valid Need to transfer to s3 so B and C are out D will not work SMB is not for volume GW only file gateway - in order to make D work need to use iscsi and SAN storage.

Both B and C, requires you bring a new Fsx Server, does not address the cost issue. Since this is likely a Windows System, then it Storage Gateway (https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/file/) so answer A

Must revise my answer, the first line states that the files are stored locally, so given a choice between A and D. There is no requirement for NFS here, so that eliminates A, leaving D as the only possible answer. The answer is D.
