Question
A company runs a content management application on a single Windows Amazon EC2 instance in a development environment. The application reads and writes static content to a 2 TB Amazon EBS volume that is attached to the instance as the root device. The company plans to deploy this application in production as a highly available and fault-tolerant solution that runs on at least three EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones. A solutions architect must design a solution that joins all the instances that run the application to an Active Directory domain. The solution also must implement Windows ACLs to control access to file contents. The application always must maintain exactly the same content on all running instances at any given point in time. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST management overhead?

Explanation
Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is the most suitable solution because it is fully managed, integrates seamlessly with Active Directory (AD), and supports Windows ACLs for controlling access to file contents. It also supports shared access for multiple EC2 instances, ensuring that all instances maintain the same content at any given point in time. Using FSx for Windows File Server across multiple Availability Zones provides high availability and fault tolerance, fulfilling the company's requirement for a highly available solution. Additionally, FSx supports domain joining with minimal configuration, ensuring easy integration with the AD domain. The Auto Scaling group ensures that at least three instances are running across multiple Availability Zones.
