What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
Use an AWS Storage Gateway tape gateway to copy the on-premises files into Amazon S3.
Use an AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway to copy the on-premises files into Amazon S3.
Use an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway to copy the on-premises files to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).
Attach an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system to the on-premises servers. Copy the files to Amazon EFS.
Explanations:
The AWS Storage Gateway tape gateway is designed for backup and archiving purposes, allowing the transfer of data to Amazon S3 in a tape-like format. It is not suited for enabling data analysis on premises and in the cloud.
The AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway is primarily used for block storage and creating backup snapshots in Amazon S3. It allows data to be stored and managed on-premises but does not facilitate the direct analysis of data from both on-premises and cloud environments efficiently.
The AWS Storage Gateway file gateway allows on-premises applications to access S3 as a file system. However, it cannot copy files directly to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), as EBS is not compatible with file-level operations.
Attaching an Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) to on-premises servers allows for a shared file storage solution that can be accessed simultaneously by multiple EC2 instances in AWS. This setup enables the data science team to perform statistical analyses on both on-premises and cloud resources seamlessly.
I believe the answer is:
Attach an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system to the on-premises servers. Copy the files to Amazon EFS.
If I’m correct, the answer is:
Attach an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system to the on-premises servers. Copy the files to Amazon EFS.
