Storage Gateway Flashcards
Storage Gateway, on-premises applications
Advantage is monitoring and secure storage
On premises storage gateway aws integrate services
IAM
KMS
AWS CloudTrail for logging account activity
Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring
Amazon EventBridge for monitoring alarms
Your data at rest is encrypted by default using Amazon S3 server-side encryption (S3-SSE)
Data encrypted with Storage Gatway mechanism
VMware vSphere High Availability
Health checks automatically recover from most service interruptions in under 60 seconds.
Gatweay types
S3 File Gateway
FsX Gateway
Tape Gateway: cloud-based VTL
Volume Gateway: iSCSI target
Stored Volume
If you need low-latency access to your entire dataset, first configure your on-premises gateway to store all your data locally. Then asynchronously back up point-in-time snapshots of this data to Amazon S3
Cached Volume
In cached mode, primary data is stored in Amazon S3 and you retain your frequently accessed data locally in the cache.
Upload Buffer
ffer. You can use on-premises DAS or SAN disks for working storage. Your gateway uploads data from the upload buffer over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to the Storage Gateway running in the AWS Cloud. Storage Gateway then stores the data encrypted in Amazon S3 as Amazon EBS snapshots.
AWS Backup
Centralized backup service that makes it straightforward and cost effective for you to back up your application data across AWS services in both the AWS Cloud and on premises.
True False Stored volume is only available for on-premises host platform options.
True
Volume Gateway Data Transfers
data through the on-premises Volume Gateway appliance to and from either storage area network (SAN) or virtual volumes. Your volume mode determines how reads and writes occur.
write-back cache
is one in which write operations are directed to cache and completion is immediately acknowledged to the application.
True False One hundred percent of the Read data on your volumes is stored virtually with stored volumes
False: it’s locally. cached volumes take advantage of both local and cloud.
iSCSI protocol
is an IP-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. It provides block-level access to storage devices by carrying Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) commands over a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network using the default port 3260. iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances
Volume Clone
Instant clones offer rapid recovery of data to a gateway on premises. Cloning from an existing volume is faster and more cost effective than creating an Amazon EBS snapshot. Cloning does a byte-to-byte copy of your data from the source volume to the new volume, using the most recent recovery point from the source volume.
