A company has a physical tape library to store data backups.The tape library is running out of space.The company needs to extend the tape library’s capacity to the AWS Cloud.

Which AWS service should the company use to meet this requirement?

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)

Amazon S3

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)

AWS Storage Gateway

Explanations:

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is primarily used for block storage attached to EC2 instances, not for extending physical tape library storage or for backup storage needs.

Amazon S3 is an object storage service suitable for general storage, archiving, and backup but does not integrate specifically with physical tape libraries.

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is used for scalable, managed file storage for Linux-based workloads and is not intended for tape library extension or data archiving.

AWS Storage Gateway, specifically the Tape Gateway option, is designed to extend physical tape libraries to the cloud, enabling seamless backups to AWS.
