Question 30
A company wants to migrate an on-premises data center to AWS. The data center hosts an SFTP server that stores its data on an NFS-based file system. The server holds 200 GB of data that needs to be transferred. The server must be hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance that uses an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system. Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to automate this task? (Choose two.)
- A Create a secondary Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume on the EC2 instance for the data.
- B Manually use an operating system copy command to push the data to the EC2 instance.
- C Use AWS DataSync to create a suitable location configuration for the on-premises SFTP server.
- D Launch the EC2 instance into the same Availability Zone as the EFS file system.
- E Install an AWS DataSync agent in the on-premises data center.

Correct answers: D, E
Explanation
To automate the migration of an on-premises SFTP server to AWS, the solutions architect should take the following steps: 1. **Install an AWS DataSync agent in the on-premises data center**: This will facilitate the transfer of data from the on-premises NFS-based file system to AWS. 2. **Use AWS DataSync to create a suitable location configuration for the on-premises SFTP server**: This ensures that the data can be efficiently and securely transferred to the Amazon EFS file system. These steps will automate the data transfer process, ensuring that the 200 GB of data is moved to the Amazon EC2 instance using Amazon EFS.Discussion
