A city’s legacy backup application still speaks tape or block volume protocols, but leadership wants those backups to land in durable AWS storage as a controlled hybrid ingest path. Which service best bridges that legacy path?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Legacy backup apps often still think in tapes and volumes—not REST. Storage Gateway presents those familiar interfaces while sliding the bytes into AWS storage behind the scenes. CloudFront, Cognito, and Polly solve CDN, identity, and speech—not hybrid backup ingest.
Full Explanation
AWS Storage Gateway provides hybrid cloud storage interfaces—including tape gateway and volume gateway modes—so on-premises backup and block workloads can continue using familiar protocols while data is stored durably in AWS. That pattern is the controlled ingest/backup bridge for legacy applications. CloudFront, Cognito, and Polly address content delivery, authentication, and text-to-speech respectively, not tape/volume hybrid backup ingest.
