Selected Answer: B
Option B: Configure Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. This service provides a fully managed Windows file system that can be easily shared across multiple EC2 Windows instances. It offers high performance and supports Windows applications that require file storage. Option A is incorrect because AWS Storage Gateway in volume gateway mode is not designed for shared file systems. Option C is incorrect because while Amazon EFS can be mounted to multiple instances, it is a Linux-based file system and may not be suitable for Windows applications. Option D is incorrect because attaching and mounting an Amazon EBS volume to multiple instances simultaneously is not supported.

Selected Answer: B
A. Configure AWS Storage Gateway in volume gateway mode. Mount the volume to each Windows instance. This option is incorrect because AWS Storage Gateway is not a file storage service. It is a hybrid storage service that allows you to store data in the cloud while maintaining low-latency access to frequently accessed data. It is designed to integrate with on-premises storage systems, not to provide file storage for Amazon EC2 instances. B. Configure Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. Mount the Amazon FSx file system to each Windows instance. This is the correct answer. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is a fully managed file storage service that provides a native Windows file system that can be accessed over the SMB protocol. It is specifically designed for use with Windows-based applications, and it can be easily integrated with existing applications by mounting the file system to each EC2 instance.

C. Configure a file system by using Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). Mount the EFS file system to each Windows instance. This option is incorrect because Amazon EFS is a file storage service that is designed for use with Linux-based applications. It is not compatible with Windows-based applications, and it cannot be accessed over the SMB protocol. D. Configure an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume with the required size. Attach each EC2 instance to the volume. Mount the file system within the volume to each Windows instance. This option is incorrect because Amazon EBS is a block storage service, not a file storage service. It is designed for storing raw block-level data that can be accessed by a single EC2 instance at a time. It is not designed for use as a shared file system that can be accessed by multiple instances.
