A company has data stored in an on-premises data center that is used by several on-premises applications.The company wants to maintain its existing application environment and be able to use AWS services for data analytics and future visualizations.
Which storage service should a solutions architect recommend?
Amazon Redshift
AWS Storage Gateway for files
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
Explanations:
Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing service for analytics but does not integrate easily with on-premises data.
AWS Storage Gateway for files provides hybrid cloud storage, enabling seamless access between on-premises and AWS for analytics.
Amazon EBS is a block storage service meant for use with Amazon EC2, not suitable for on-premises environments.
Amazon EFS is a managed file system for AWS cloud resources and lacks direct integration with on-premises data centers.
I rate that the answer is:
AWS Storage Gateway for files
