AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 783

In the AWS Storage Gateway, using the ____________, you can cost-effectively and durably ar-chive backup data in Amazon Glacier.

Answer options

• A. Gateway-virtual tape library (Gateway-VTL)
• B. Gateway-stored volume
• C. Gateway-cached volume
• D. Volume gateway

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Gateway-virtual tape library (Gateway-VTL) is designed to replace physical tape drives with virtual tapes, allowing seamless archiving of backup data to Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier. Gateway-stored and Gateway-cached volumes (which fall under Volume Gateway) are block storage solutions aimed at providing low-latency local access to data, not virtual tape-based archiving.
