A is better because: - Data sync is used for migrate. Storage gw is used to connect on-prem to AWS. - dataevents is to log for access, management events is for config or management

Selected Answer: A

We need to log "access at all levels" aka "data events", thus B and D are out (logging only "management events" like granting permissions or changing the access tier). C, S3 Transfer Acceleration is to increase upload performance from widespread sources or over unreliable networks, but it just provides an endpoint, it does not upload anything itself.

Selected Answer: A

B and C don't solve the problem A is extending the data and management events are for administrative actions only (tracking account creation, user security actions etc.). C uses DataSync to move all the data and logs data events which include S3 file uploads and downloads. Management events: User logs into an EC2 instance, creates an S3 IAM role Data events: User uploads a file to S3

*Keyword* of this question = running out of storage capacity AWS Storage Gateway = extend the on-premises storage AWS DataSync = copy data between on-premises storage So, the answer should be D (AWS Storage Gateway)

"Securely migrate the existing data to AWS" -> move data away fron on-premises storage to AWS. Plus, D logs only management events, not "access at all levels".

Selected Answer: D

AWS DataSync is designed for fast, simple, and secure data transfer, but it focuses more on data synchronization rather than on-premises migration.

Thus it is wrong, but more because of the incorrect logging option in this answer.

Selected Answer: A

AWS DataSync is suitable for data transfer and synchronization Option D (Use AWS Storage Gateway to move the existing data to Amazon S3. Use AWS CloudTrail to log management events): AWS Storage Gateway is typically used for hybrid cloud storage solutions and may introduce additional complexity for a one-time data migration task. It might not be as straightforward as using AWS Snowcone for this specific scenario.

Selected Answer: A

both DataSync and Storage Gateway are fine to sync data...but to "audit access at all levels of the stored data" ...it should be data events(data plane operation)..management event is some account level things. So answer should be A

Selected Answer: D

While both DataSync and Storage Gateway allow syncing of data between on-premise and cloud, DataSync is built for rapid shifting of data into a cloud environment, not specifically for continued use in on-premise servers.
