A company's on-premises SMB file server is nearing capacity, storing large files frequently accessed initially but rarely after 7 days. The solutions architect must expand storage without affecting low-latency access to recent files and implement lifecycle management. What is the appropriate solution?
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Using Amazon S3 File Gateway extends the company's storage space seamlessly. An S3 Lifecycle policy that transitions data to S3 Glacier Deep Archive ensures infrequently accessed files are moved to a cost-effective storage class after 7 days, addressing both storage capacity and lifecycle management requirements. This approach maintains low-latency access to the recently accessed files and helps manage storage costs efficiently.
