AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 127

A company needs to implement a managed file system to host Windows file shares for users on premises. Resources in the AWS Cloud also need access to the data on these file shares. A SysOps administrator needs to present the user file shares on premises and make the user file shares available on AWS with minimum latency.

What should the SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Set up an Amazon S3 File Gateway.
• B. Set up an AWS Direct Connect connection.
• C. Use AWS DataSync to automate data transfers between the existing file servers and AWS.
• D. Set up an Amazon FSx File Gateway.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Amazon FSx File Gateway is designed to provide low-latency access to Windows file shares both on-premises and in AWS. The other options do not provide the same level of integration for Windows file shares or may not effectively minimize latency for the required access.
