Question 780
An analytics team migrates large on-premises file datasets. The team confirms that transfer completeness must be proven after a migration. Which approach most directly resolves this gap?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The scenario identifies this requirement: Transfer completeness must be proven after a migration. Select Run DataSync verification and reconcile object counts/checksums as applicable as the specified technical mechanism. Verified transfer reduces silent migration omissions. This response addresses the problem described rather than a different design goal.
Incorrect Answers
The option Use AWS DataSync over supported network connectivity addresses a separate condition: a data center has a high-bandwidth network path and millions of files to synchronize. DataSync efficiently copies files and metadata. The actual requirement is transfer completeness must be proven after a migration. Recommended corrective action: Run DataSync verification and reconcile object counts/checksums as applicable. Verified transfer reduces silent migration omissions.
For the alternative failure managed SFTP partners must upload only to individually assigned storage prefixes, the control Configure Transfer Family identity mappings and restricted home-directory storage permissions is relevant: sFTP user identity mappings restrict each configured user backend path. Here the evidence instead is transfer completeness must be proven after a migration. The selected technical mechanism is Run DataSync verification and reconcile object counts/checksums as applicable: verified transfer reduces silent migration omissions.
Use AWS Storage Gateway File Gateway solves a different operational problem where existing on-prem apps need a local cache backed by cloud object storage. File Gateway caches file access with S3-backed storage. It does not directly address transfer completeness must be proven after a migration. The case calls for Run DataSync verification and reconcile object counts/checksums as applicable, since verified transfer reduces silent migration omissions.
