Answer directly points towards file gateway with lifecycles, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/filegateway/latest/files3/CreatingAnSMBFileShare.html D is wrong because utility function is vague and there is no need for flexible storage.

B answwer is correct. low latency is only needed for newer files. Additionally, File GW provides low latency access by caching frequently accessed files locally so answer is B

Option B: Use an Amazon S3 File Gateway to extend storage space and create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition data to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 7 days. This solution provides seamless storage expansion, low-latency access for recent files, and cost-effective lifecycle management for older data.

B is the correct answer

B for sure

Amazon S3 File Gateway: By deploying an S3 File Gateway, the company can extend its storage space by leveraging Amazon S3 as a scalable and durable storage solution. The gateway provides seamless access to S3 objects as files, allowing users to continue accessing data using standard file protocols like SMB. S3 Lifecycle Policy: By creating an S3 Lifecycle policy, the company can automatically transition data that is older than 7 days to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive. This allows the company to reduce storage costs for infrequently accessed data while maintaining access to the most recently accessed files with low latency.

By creating an Amazon S3 File Gateway, the company can seamlessly extend its storage space while ensuring low-latency access to the most recently accessed files. Additionally, by implementing an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition data to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 7 days, the company can effectively manage its storage resources and avoid future storage issues.

B is the correct Answer

B is the answer Aws storage is used for hybird storage rather than using datasync whoch is for data transfer, also it mentions data needs lifecycle managment

Hint: SMB files : 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).

B is correct because we need gateway, its data center mean it located on-premises

S3 File gateway with lifecycle policy for auto transition of old files.

S3 File Gateway with lifecycle policy transition.

Initially when reading this question, i wanted to use S3 Inteligiant Tiering as the answer but it was not mention. I was then torn between B and D due to the life cycle policies that was required as stated by the question: I chose D because it covers the need to be accessed whenever, without reducing the latency. This answer is also the best choice as it would reduce any storage issues users could face.

absolutely B

Amazon s3 file gateway is a solution to transfer data from storage on prem to storage in cloud and it supports SMB, ISCSI and NFS protocols so B is the correct answer.

This was on the Test! I got a 965 on it!
