Your company has a legacy application that requires a Windows-based file system with support for the SMB protocol. The application is used by a team distributed across different locations. Which AWS service would you use to meet the file storage requirements of this application?
Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is the correct choice because it is specifically designed to support Windows-based file storage requirements, including the SMB protocol, and can be accessed from multiple sites. Amazon EFS is designed for Linux-based systems and would not be suitable for a legacy application that requires a Windows-based file system. Amazon S3 is object storage, not a file system, and does not support the SMB protocol natively. Amazon FSx for Lustre is optimized for high-performance computing workloads, not for Windows-based file systems.
