Answer: Amazon Storage gateway

## Explanation **Amazon Storage Gateway** is the correct answer because it provides object-level storage capabilities through its File Gateway service, which allows you to store and retrieve objects in Amazon S3. **Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store)** is incorrect because it provides block-level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances, not object-level storage. ### Key Differences: - **Object Storage**: Stores data as objects with metadata and a unique identifier (used by Amazon S3 and Storage Gateway File Gateway) - **Block Storage**: Stores data in fixed-sized blocks, like traditional hard drives (used by Amazon EBS) Amazon Storage Gateway's File Gateway service enables you to store files as objects in Amazon S3 while providing file-based access through industry-standard file protocols like NFS and SMB.
