    AWS SAP-C02 · Question 51 · Domain 4.2: New Architecture Design

    A company is migrating a fleet of Windows file servers to AWS. They want to use a fully managed AWS service. The file system must integrate with their existing on-premises Active Directory and support the SMB protocol. Which TWO actions should the architect take? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    B.

    Deploy Amazon FSx for Windows File Server.

    C.

    Deploy AWS Storage Gateway in File Gateway mode.

    D.

    E.

    Use AWS Directory Service to create a new Simple AD.

    F.

    Configure Amazon S3 File Gateway to join the on-premises AD.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the managed Windows file system (FSx) and how it authenticates (joining the existing AD).

    Full Answer

    Deploy Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. Join the FSx file system to the on-premises Active Directory domain.
    Amazon FSx for Windows File Server provides a fully managed native Microsoft Windows file system. It supports the SMB protocol and can be joined directly to an existing on-premises Active Directory for seamless authentication.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing EFS, which does not support SMB or Windows ACLs.
