A finance office needs a managed Windows file share that Windows EC2 servers can use with familiar SMB protocols. Which AWS service family is designed for managed file systems tailored to specific OS and protocol needs such as Windows?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Windows shops often want SMB shares that feel like home. Amazon FSx family options—such as FSx for Windows File Server—deliver managed file systems tuned for those OS and protocol needs. It is not "just another S3 bucket with a Windows sticker."
Full Explanation
Amazon FSx offers managed file systems for specific technology needs, including Amazon FSx for Windows File Server for SMB-based Windows file shares. That maps cleanly to Windows EC2 and desktop-style file share requirements. S3 Transfer Acceleration, OpenSearch, and CloudTrail solve transfer, search, and auditing problems rather than Windows file share hosting.
