Answer Description

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is the correct choice because it provides fully managed, highly reliable, and scalable file storage that is accessible over the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It is specifically designed for Windows-based workloads and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Active Directory (AD), supporting Windows NTFS and Distributed File System (DFS). Amazon EFS is designed for Linux-based workloads and uses the Network File System (NFS) protocol, which is not suitable for Windows applications. Amazon S3 is an object storage service ideal for storing and retrieving any amount of data from anywhere but does not offer the file system interface required by Windows file-based applications. Amazon EBS provides block-level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances but does not offer shared file storage accessible by multiple instances or integration with Active Directory.
