QuestionQ20

Reliability and Business Continuity

A company is migrating its production file server to AWS. All data stored on the file server must remain accessible if an Availability Zone becomes unavailable or during system maintenance. Users must be able to interact with the file server by using the SMB protocol. Users must also be able to manage file permissions by using Windows ACLs.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Explanation

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server Multi-AZ provides SMB access and supports standard Windows ACLs for file- and folder-level access control. Its Windows file-server cluster spans two Availability Zones and automatically fails over to a standby server during an Availability Zone outage or planned maintenance, preserving access to the file system.
