AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 602

A company needs to connect on-premises applications to AWS Cloud storage by using industry-standard internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) connectivity.

Which AWS solution can the company use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Storage Gateway file gateway
• B. Amazon API Gateway
• C. AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway
• D. AWS Transit Gateway

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway provides block storage volumes over iSCSI to on-premises applications, backing up the data in Amazon S3. In contrast, file gateway uses NFS or SMB protocols for file-level access, while Amazon API Gateway and AWS Transit Gateway do not offer storage connectivity services.
