AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 252

A company needs a managed NFS file system that the company can use with its AWS compute resources.

Which AWS service or feature will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
• B. AWS Storage Gateway Tape Gateway
• C. Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval
• D. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), which is specifically designed for scalable and managed NFS file storage that integrates seamlessly with AWS compute services. The other options, such as Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) and AWS Storage Gateway Tape Gateway, do not provide NFS access, while Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval is intended for archival storage rather than file system access.
