- AWS Storage Gateway
- AWS Direct Connect
- AWS Snowball
- Amazon EBS
What’s your guess? Scroll below for the answer…
Correct: 1.
Correct option:
AWS Storage Gateway
AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that connects your existing on-premises environments with the AWS Cloud. Customers use Storage Gateway to simplify storage management and reduce costs for key hybrid cloud storage use cases. These include moving tape backups to the cloud, reducing on-premises storage with cloud-backed file shares, providing low latency access to data in AWS for on-premises applications, as well as various migration, archiving, processing, and disaster recovery use cases.
AWS Storage Gateway service provides three different types of gateways – Tape Gateway, File Gateway, and Volume Gateway – that seamlessly connect on-premises applications to cloud storage, caching data locally for low-latency access.
Incorrect options:
“AWS Direct Connect” – AWS Direct Connect creates a dedicated private connection from a remote network to your VPC. This is a private connection and does not use the public internet. Takes at least a month to establish this connection. Direct Connect is a connectivity service and you cannot use it to provide AWS Cloud based storage access to on-premises applications.
“AWS Snowball” – AWS Snowball is a data transport solution that accelerates moving terabytes to petabytes of data into and out of AWS services using storage devices designed to be secure for physical transport. You cannot use Snowball to provide AWS Cloud based storage access to on-premises applications.
“Amazon EBS” – Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is an easy to use, high-performance block storage service designed for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances for both throughput and transaction-intensive workloads at any scale. You cannot use EBS to provide AWS Cloud based storage access to on-premises applications.
