AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 467

Which AWS solution gives companies the ability to use protocols such as NFS to store and retrieve objects in Amazon S3?

Answer options

• A. Amazon FSx for Lustre
• B. AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway
• C. AWS Storage Gateway file gateway
• D. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Storage Gateway file gateway enables on-premises applications to seamlessly store and retrieve files as objects in Amazon S3 using standard protocols like NFS and SMB. Amazon EFS and Amazon FSx are standalone managed file systems that do not directly interface with S3 in this manner. AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway provides block storage volumes rather than direct file-to-object mapping via NFS.
