Question
A company has a centralized group of users with large file storage requirements that have exceeded the space available on premises. The company wants to extend its file storage capabilities for this group while retaining the performance benefit of sharing content locally. What is the MOST operationally efficient AWS solution for this scenario?
Options
- ACreate an Amazon S3 bucket for each user. Mount each bucket by using an S3 file system
- BConfigure and deploy an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway. Connect each user's workstation to
- CMove each user's working environment to Amazon WorkSpaces. Set up an Amazon WorkDocs
- DDeploy an Amazon EC2 instance and attach an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)

Why each option
To extend local file storage to the cloud while maintaining local performance and operational efficiency for a centralized group with large file requirements, an AWS Storage Gateway File Gateway is the most efficient solution.
Creating an S3 bucket for each user and mounting it would introduce significant operational complexity and would not provide the local performance benefits of a gateway cache.
An AWS Storage Gateway File Gateway provides a local cache for frequently accessed data, enabling users to access cloud-backed S3 storage with low latency and leveraging existing file protocols like NFS/SMB. This solution transparently extends on-premises storage to Amazon S3, efficiently addressing capacity limits while retaining local access performance.
