Question 600
A hybrid enterprise integrates existing file workflows with AWS. The team confirms that a global remote team needs a shared managed Windows file service. Which choice directly addresses the documented cause?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The scenario identifies this requirement: A global remote team needs a shared managed Windows file service. Select Use FSx for Windows File Server in suitable region/network design as the specified technical mechanism. Managed SMB replaces custom Windows file servers. This response addresses the problem described rather than a different design goal.
Incorrect Answers
The option Deploy suitable AWS Storage Gateway File Gateway where protocol support matches addresses a separate condition: on-prem Linux servers need low-latency SMB/NFS-like file cache backed by AWS storage. File Gateway caches files while backing objects in S3. The actual requirement is a global remote team needs a shared managed Windows file service. Recommended corrective action: Use FSx for Windows File Server in suitable region/network design. Managed SMB replaces custom Windows file servers.
For the alternative failure a backup administrator needs a virtual tape library backed by cloud archival storage, the control Use AWS Storage Gateway Tape Gateway for compatible tape-backup software is relevant: tape Gateway exposes virtual tapes backed by AWS storage. Here the evidence instead is a global remote team needs a shared managed Windows file service. The selected technical mechanism is Use FSx for Windows File Server in suitable region/network design: managed SMB replaces custom Windows file servers.
Use AWS DataSync tasks targeting EFS solves a different operational problem where a data center must migrate millions of files efficiently into an EFS filesystem. DataSync transfers files with managed verification and scheduling. It does not directly address a global remote team needs a shared managed Windows file service. The case calls for Use FSx for Windows File Server in suitable region/network design, since managed SMB replaces custom Windows file servers.
