An on-premises application generates large amounts of video files. The local storage is running out of space. The company wants to extend their storage to AWS seamlessly, keeping frequently accessed files locally while moving older files to Amazon S3. Which service should they use?

Answer options:

AWS Storage Gateway - Volume Gateway (Stored Volumes)

AWS Storage Gateway - File Gateway

AWS DataSync

Amazon EFS

How to approach this question

Look for 'extend storage to AWS', 'keep frequently accessed files locally', and 'files'. This is File Gateway.

Full Answer

B.AWS Storage Gateway - File Gateway✓ Correct

Amazon S3 File Gateway provides a seamless way to connect to the cloud in order to store application data files and backup images as durable objects in Amazon S3. It maintains a local cache for low-latency access to recently used data.

Common mistakes

Confusing File Gateway with Volume Gateway (which provides block storage, not file storage).
