Question

A company is migrating an application to the AWS Cloud. The application runs in an on-premises data center and writes thousands of images into a mounted NFS file system each night. After the company migrates the application, the company will host the application on an Amazon EC2 instance with a mounted Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system. The company has established an AWS Direct Connect connection to AWS. Before the migration cutover, a solutions architect must build a process that will replicate the newly created on- premises images to the EFS file system. What is the MOST operationally efficient way to replicate the images?

Options

  • AConfigure a periodic process to run the aws s3 sync command from the on-premises file system
  • BDeploy an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway with an NFS mount point. Mount the file gateway
  • CDeploy an AWS DataSync agent to an on-premises server that has access to the NFS file
  • DDeploy an AWS DataSync agent to an on-premises server that has access to the NFS file

Explanation

You can use VPC endpoints to ensure data transferred between your AWS DataSync agent, either deployed on-premises or in-cloud, doesn't traverse the public internet or need public IP addresses. Using VPC endpoints increases the security of your data by keeping network traffic within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). VPC endpoints for DataSync are powered by AWS PrivateLink, a highly available, scalable technology that enables you to privately connect your VPC to supported AWS services. https://aws.amazon.com/datasync/faqs/
