A
- Move to different produce while moving to the cloud
4
Q
6Rs - Refactoring & Rearchitecture
A
- Decoupling using SQS/SNS

- Helps reducing surface attack
6

Q
AWS Storage Gateway
A
- Bridge between on-prem and cloud data in S3
- Helps with disaster recovery, backup & restore, tiered storage
8
Q
AWS Storage Gateway File Gateway
A
- You get a FG appliance - VM, that is a bridge between NFS mount and S3 bucket
- Cached, saves trips to S3 and costs
- Can be accessed using both NFS and SMB
- Requires IAM access to S3 Service
9
Q
File Gateway Use cases
A
- FG mounts for on-prem and EC2 to facilitate migration
- Second read-only mount, low latency get files
- Files in FG can go through Lifecycle policies, cost savings
- Can have file version control, if S3 versioning enabled
10
Q
File Gateway - WORM
A
- Object lock
- If there are changes, File Gateway creates a new version without affecting original locked or prior versions
11
Q
Volume Gateway
A
- iSCSI - backed by S3
- Cached Volumes: low latency access for most recent on-premise, full data on S3 - 1TB per volume
- Stored Volume: Entire dataset is on premise, scheduled backups to S3 - 0.5TB per volume
- To access data create EBS snapshots from volumes and restore a EBS
12
Q
Tape Gateway
A
- To access data need to restore entire tape
- Virtual Table Library protocol backed by S3 Glacier
13
Q
Snowball Edge
A
For compute on the data:
- Supports EC2 AMI
- Lambda
14
Q
DB Migration Service
A
- Quick, secure, resilient, self healing
- Source DB remains available during migration
- Oracle to Oracle
- Oracle to MySQL (Schema Conv Tool)
- Oracle to Redshift (SCT)
- Continuous Data Replication using CDC (Streams changes)
- Requires EC2 to perform replication tasks
15
Q
DBMS Network
A
- VPC Peering, VPN (site-2-site, software), DXConnect
