What should the SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?
Set up an Amazon S3 File Gateway.
Set up an AWS Direct Connect connection.
Use AWS DataSync to automate data transfers between the existing file servers and AWS.
Set up an Amazon FSx File Gateway.
Explanations:
An Amazon S3 File Gateway is used to connect on-premises environments to Amazon S3, but it is not ideal for hosting Windows file shares or for low-latency access from AWS to on-premises shares.
AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated network connection between on-premises data centers and AWS, but it is not a file system solution. It is useful for high-speed, low-latency connections but does not address file share management.
AWS DataSync automates data transfer between on-premises and AWS, but it is primarily used for one-time or scheduled transfers rather than providing continuous file system access for users.
Amazon FSx File Gateway is designed to provide seamless access to Windows file shares from both on-premises systems and AWS, offering low-latency access and managed file system support.
I rank that the answer is:
Set up an Amazon FSx File Gateway.
