Which service will allow Active Directory users to mount storage as a drive on their desktops?
Amazon S3 Glacier
AWS DataSync
AWS Snowball Edge
AWS Storage Gateway
Explanations:
Amazon S3 Glacier is designed for archival storage and does not provide a mechanism for mounting storage as a drive on desktops. It is not suitable for file sharing and cannot authenticate Active Directory users directly.
AWS DataSync is a service for transferring data between on-premises storage and AWS storage services, but it does not provide a way to mount storage as a drive on desktops or directly support Active Directory authentication for user access.
AWS Snowball Edge is a data transfer solution designed for moving large amounts of data to and from AWS. It is not a file sharing service and does not support mounting storage as a drive for desktop access or Active Directory user authentication.
AWS Storage Gateway provides a hybrid cloud storage service that allows on-premises applications to use AWS cloud storage seamlessly. It can present storage as a mounted drive (file share) using the File Gateway type, and it integrates with Active Directory for user authentication, making it suitable for this requirement.
