AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 91

A company wants to store and retrieve files in Amazon S3 for its existing on-premises applications by using industry-standard file system protocols.
Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Amazon S3 File Gateway, as it enables on-premises applications to access Amazon S3 using standard file protocols. Option A, AWS DataSync, is primarily for transferring data between on-premises storage and AWS, not for file access. Option B, AWS Snowball Edge, is used for transferring large amounts of data offline, and Option D, AWS Transfer Family, is designed for transferring files over FTP, SFTP, and FTPS, but does not provide the same level of integration with on-premises applications as Amazon S3 File Gateway.
