SAA-C03 Question 415
Single answerA company runs a hybrid cloud architecture where a critical on-premises application requires low-latency access to frequently used data stored in the AWS Cloud. The company also wants to archive infrequently accessed data to Amazon S3 Glacier for cost efficiency. Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?
- A
AWS Storage Gateway, File Gateway
- B
AWS DataSync
- C
AWS Transfer Family
- D
AWS Storage Gateway, Tape Gateway
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Storage Gateway, File Gateway is the correct choice because it enables low-latency access to frequently used cloud data by caching it locally, while also supporting the archiving of less frequently accessed data to cost-efficient storage tiers like Amazon S3 Glacier. The other options do not meet the requirements of providing low-latency access alongside efficient archiving.
- A. Correct.
AWS Storage Gateway, File Gateway is designed to provide low-latency access to frequently accessed data by caching it locally while archiving infrequently accessed data to Amazon S3 or S3 Glacier, making it the ideal solution for this scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS DataSync is primarily used for data transfer between on-premises storage and AWS, but it is not designed to provide low-latency access or caching capabilities.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Transfer Family is used for transferring files into and out of AWS using protocols like SFTP, FTPS, and FTP. It does not provide caching or low-latency access to cloud-stored data.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Storage Gateway, Tape Gateway is designed for tape backup replacement by storing virtual tapes in AWS, which does not meet the requirement for low-latency access.
