Question

A company has on-premises workloads. The company needs a hybrid networking solution that provides on-premises access to petabytes of cloud storage. The company needs a hybrid cloud storage service that provides secure data transfer from on premises to an Amazon S3 bucket. The service must use a private connection. The company has deployed a VPC and an AWS Direct Connect connection. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options

  • ACreate a public VIF. Create an interface endpoint for Amazon S3. Deploy an Amazon S3 File
  • BCreate a private VIF. Create an Amazon EFS file system. Create a mount target to the S3 bucket.
  • CCreate a transit VIF. Create an Amazon File Cache file system. Create a data repository
  • DCreate a private VIF. Create an Amazon ElastiCache file system. Create a data repository

Explanation

You need petabyte-scale, hybrid file access on premises with data stored durably in Amazon S3 and transferred privately over the existing Direct Connect. AWS Storage Gateway – specifically the S3 File Gateway – provides exactly that: you deploy the VM on premises, present NFS/SMB shares, and objects land in your S3 bucket. With Direct Connect, you can route that traffic privately (via a public VIF to S3 public endpoints). The other options misuse services (EFS, File Cache, ElastiCache) that don’t front S3 for on-prem file workloads.
