Which solution will meet these requirements?
Create a new Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. Configure AWS DataSync with one location for the on-premises file share and one location for the new Amazon FSx file system. Create a new DataSync task to copy the data from the on-premises file share location to the Amazon FSx file system.
Create an S3 bucket for the application. Copy the data from the on-premises storage to the S3 bucket.
Deploy an AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) VM to the on-premises environment. Use AWS SMS to migrate the file storage server from on premises to an Amazon EC2 instance.
Create an S3 bucket for the application. Deploy a new AWS Storage Gateway file gateway on an on-premises VM. Create a new file share that stores data in the S3 bucket and is associated with the file gateway. Copy the data from the on-premises storage to the new file gateway endpoint.
Explanations:
Amazon FSx for Windows File Server provides SMB access, but it does not directly meet the requirement of integrating with Amazon S3 as a shared storage solution. This option does not include S3 and focuses solely on migrating to FSx, which isn’t specified as a requirement.
While creating an S3 bucket and copying data to it is part of the migration process, this option does not provide SMB access to the application during the transition. S3 is not natively accessible via SMB, so the application would not be able to continue using the shared file system as required.
AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) is designed for migrating virtual machines and does not focus on file storage or providing SMB access to S3. This option would not satisfy the requirement to maintain access through SMB during the transition.
This option sets up an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway, which enables on-premises applications to access Amazon S3 storage through SMB. It allows the application to continue using SMB for data access while simultaneously migrating the data to the S3 bucket, meeting all specified requirements.
