Question

A company receives data transfers from a small number of external clients that use SFTP software on an Amazon EC2 instance. The clients use an SFTP client to upload data. The clients use SSH keys for authentication. Every hour, an automated script transfers new uploads to an Amazon S3 bucket for processing. The company wants to move the transfer process to an AWS managed service and to reduce the time required to start data processing. The company wants to retain the existing user management and SSH key generation process. The solution must not require clients to make significant changes to their existing processes. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options

  • AReconfigure the script that runs on the EC2 instance to run every 15 minutes. Create an S3 Event
  • BCreate an AWS Transfer Family SFTP server that uses the existing S3 bucket as a target. Use
  • CRequire clients to add the AWS DataSync agent into their local environments. Create an IAM user
  • DCreate an AWS Transfer Family SFTP connector that has permission to access the target S3

Explanation

AWS Transfer Family (SFTP) allows clients to use standard SFTP clients and SSH keys without changes. By enabling service-managed users, clients can continue uploading files with their The service delivers the files directly into S3, reducing latency between upload and processing. This removes the need for EC2, custom scripts, and periodic transfers. It fully meets the requirement for a managed solution with minimal disruption to client processes.
