AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 107

A company is using a third-party service to back up 10 TB of data to a tape library. The on-premises backup server is running out of space. The company wants to use AWS services for the backups without changing its existing backup workflows.
Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
• B. AWS Storage Gateway
• C. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
• D. AWS Lambda

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is AWS Storage Gateway, which allows seamless integration of on-premises environments with cloud storage, enabling the company to use AWS for backups while keeping existing workflows intact. Amazon EBS is primarily for block storage, Amazon ECS is a container management service, and AWS Lambda is for serverless computing, which do not fit the backup requirements.
