What is an AWS Hybrid Storage Service? What are some examples?
Hybrid Storage Services are services the connect on-prem storage, applications and workloads with the AWS Cloud. Some examples are:
- AWS Storage Gateway
- AWS Outposts
- Amazon File Cache
Describe the function of each of the following AWS Services:
- AWS Storage Gateway
- AWS Outposts
- Amazon File Cache
Complete the following statements:
- __________ functions as an extension of the AWS Cloud inside your on-prem data center with connections to your on-prem network and systems
- ___________ provides a high speed cache on AWS that serves a temporary, high-performance storage for data on premises or with AWS
- ____________ connects on-prem storage with storage services in the cloud. Also provides connection management and caching
Describe the expected function of each of the following AWS Services:
- AWS Storage Gateway
- AWS Outposts
- Amazon File Cache
What are the expected use cases of AWS Storage Gateway?
What are the expected use cases of AWS Outposts?
What are the expected use cases of Amazon File Cache?
What are the different types of storage gateway offered by AWS? Describe each of them.
How can you integrate storage gateway with active directory?
Using the SMB Protocol, since it has integrations with AD for user authentication
Declare True or False for the following statements:
- Tape Gateway by deafult stores data on S3 IA
- Storage Gateway uses a read-through write-back cache to store your data
- All data in transit is encrypted
- Pricing for Storage Gateway is calculated only based on the amount of data stored and the amount of data transfered out of AWS.
- For Storage Gateway to work, it is necessary to setup either the Storage Gateway Appliance or VM on-prem or EC2.
- Whenever you create a storage gateway, it works for any AWS Region
-False, it uses S3 Glacier or Glacier Deep Archive
-True
-True
-False, it is based on the gateway type, the AWS storage used and either the actual amount of storage or the allocated amount of storage that you use
-True
-False, it works only for the region where it was setup
What does NFS and SMB mean?
Network File System and System Message Block
What AWS services are compatible with AWS Outposts?
What is the Snow family of services on AWS? What services make it up?
The Snow family a group of services offered by AWS to perform the transfer of data on locations with limited internet bandwidth or to serve as storage on edge locations. It’s made-up of 3 services: Snowcone, Snowball Edge and Snow Mobile
What are the differences between Snowcone, Snowball Edge and Snow Mobile
True or False: The best Snow service to use on ML on Edge Locations is generally Snowcone
False, it is Snowball edge (Better computing, GPU Support, can be clustered)
What is AWS DataSync?
It is a service that allows you to move large amount of data between AWS, other clouds, edge locations and on-prem while mantaining high performance and security
How does AWS DataSync pricing work?
You pay a flat amount per GB transferred
True or false: When using DataSync, you need to configure the DataSync client on a VM before hand regardless of the trasnference type
False, you only need to configure a DataSync agent if you are not transfering from AWS to AWS
What are the possible destinations inside AWS used by DataSync?
-S3
-FSx
-EFS
What are the services offered on the File Transfer Family?
-File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Data transfer over TCP/IP
-File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS): Data transfer over TCP/IP using SSL/TLS encryption
-Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP): File transfer protocol using SSH
- Applicability Statement: Using HTTPS to transfer messages, especially Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages
What is the AWS Transfer Family? Where can it send data to?
It is a group of services that allow you to transfer file data into S3 or EFS using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
When should you se DataSync over the Transfer family?
DataSync is recommended for larger workloads and migrations while Transfer Family is recommended for more conventional application transfers
What is the cache type of Storage Gateway?
Least Recently Used (LRU)
True or False: The only type of FSx that Storage Gateway can connect to is FSx for Windows File Server
True
