AWS SAA-C03 · Question 36 · Domain 2.4: Resilient Storage

A company has an on-premises data center and wants to integrate its existing applications with AWS storage. They need a solution that provides low-latency access to frequently accessed data locally, while seamlessly storing the full volume of data in Amazon S3. Which TWO AWS Storage Gateway configurations can meet this requirement? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

A.

File Gateway

B.

Tape Gateway

C.

Volume Gateway (Cached Volumes)

D.

Volume Gateway (Stored Volumes)

E.

AWS DataSync

How to approach this question

Identify the Storage Gateway types that cache data locally while backing the full dataset in S3: File Gateway and Cached Volume Gateway.

Full Answer

AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service. File Gateway provides file-based access (NFS/SMB) to S3 with local caching. Volume Gateway (Cached Volumes) provides block storage (iSCSI) where the primary data is in S3, and frequently accessed data is cached locally.

Common mistakes

Choosing Stored Volumes, which require you to have enough local storage for the entire dataset.
