Selected Answer: C

• Amazon FSx for Windows File Server provides a fully managed native Windows file system that can be accessed using the industry-standard SMB protocol. This allows Windows clients like the gaming application to directly access file data. • FSx for Windows File Server handles time-consuming file system administration tasks like provisioning, setup, maintenance, file share management, backups, security, and software patching - reducing operational overhead. • FSx for Windows File Server supports high file system throughput, IOPS, and consistent low latencies required for performance-sensitive workloads. This makes it suitable for a gaming application. • The file system can be directly attached to EC2 instances, providing a performant shared storage solution for the gaming servers.

Option A - DataSync is for data transfer, not providing a shared file system. It cannot be mounted or directly accessed. Option B - A self-managed EC2 file share would require manually installing, configuring and maintaining a Windows file system and share. This demands significant overhead to operate. Option D - Amazon S3 is object storage, not a native file system. The data in S3 would need to be converted/formatted to provide file share access, adding complexity. S3 cannot be directly mounted or provide the performance of FSx.

AWS FSx for Windows File Server is a fully managed native Microsoft Windows file system that is accessible through the SMB protocol. It provides features such as file system backups, integrated with Amazon S3, and Active Directory integration for user authentication and access control. This solution allows for the use of SMB clients to access the data and is fully managed, eliminating the need for the company to manage the underlying infrastructure.
