AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 184

A company is planning to move data backups to the AWS Cloud. The company needs to replace on-premises storage with storage that is cloud-based but locally cached.

Which AWS service meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Storage Gateway
• B. AWS Snowcone
• C. AWS Backup
• D. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Storage Gateway is the correct choice because it provides a hybrid cloud storage solution that allows on-premises applications to use cloud storage while caching data locally. The other options, such as AWS Snowcone and AWS Backup, do not offer local caching, and Amazon EFS is a fully managed file storage service without local caching capabilities.
