AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
A company runs an AWS Glue job that transforms CSV files placed in an Amazon S3 bucket. External partners currently upload the files to an on-premises SFTP server, after which an internal script copies them to the S3 bucket. The company wants to decommission the SFTP server and eliminate the copy script while letting partners continue to use their existing SFTP clients. The solution must be fully managed and require the least possible operational effort from the company's staff. Which approach meets these requirements?
Launch an EC2 instance in a public subnet, install an SFTP server, and mount the S3 bucket by using an S3 file system driver.
Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway File Gateway that exposes an NFS share mapped to the S3 bucket and ask partners to upload to that share.
Deploy an AWS DataSync agent in the partner network and configure a task to transfer the files to the S3 bucket on a schedule.
Create an AWS Transfer Family server that uses the SFTP protocol and configure the existing S3 bucket as the data repository.
AWS Transfer Family can present an SFTP endpoint backed directly by an S3 bucket. Partners can keep using the SFTP protocol with no client changes, and the service is fully managed, so the company only needs to map the Transfer Family server to the bucket and manage IAM roles. An EC2 host running SFTP would remove the on-premises server but still requires patching and scaling. AWS DataSync accelerates transfers but does not provide an SFTP interface, and it needs an agent to be deployed. Storage Gateway File Gateway exposes NFS or SMB shares, not SFTP, so partners would have to change their clients. Therefore, using AWS Transfer Family for SFTP with the existing S3 bucket best satisfies the requirements of protocol compatibility, minimal changes, and low operational overhead.
