A company needs to store data from its healthcare application.The application’s data frequently changes.A new regulation requires audit access at all levels of the stored data.The company hosts the application on an on-premises infrastructure that is running out of storage capacity.A solutions architect must securely migrate the existing data to AWS while satisfying the new regulation.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Use AWS DataSync to move the existing data to Amazon S3. Use AWS CloudTrail to log data events.

Use AWS Snowcone to move the existing data to Amazon S3. Use AWS CloudTrail to log management events.

Use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration to move the existing data to Amazon S3. Use AWS CloudTrail to log data events.

Use AWS Storage Gateway to move the existing data to Amazon S3. Use AWS CloudTrail to log management events.

Explanations:

AWS DataSync can efficiently migrate large amounts of data from on-premises to AWS S3. S3 data events can be logged with AWS CloudTrail, meeting the audit requirements.

AWS Snowcone is a small, portable edge computing and data transfer device, but it is designed for low-volume data. It is not suitable for migrating large datasets efficiently.

S3 Transfer Acceleration is for speeding up uploads over long distances but doesn’t address migrating large existing on-premises data. AWS DataSync or Storage Gateway would be better options for this use case.

AWS Storage Gateway provides hybrid cloud storage for on-premises access to AWS S3 but is not primarily intended for one-time migration tasks like AWS DataSync. Logging management events does not meet the audit requirements for data-level events.
