A company is moving to the AWS Cloud gradually. The company has multiple SAP landscapes on VMware The company already has sandbox development and QA systems on AWS The company's production system is still running on premises. The company has 2 months to cut over the entre landscape to the AWS Cloud
The company has adopted a hybrid architecture for the next 2 months and needs to synchronize its shared file systems between the landscapes These shared file systems include trans directory mounts, /software directory mounts, and third-party integration mounts in the on-premises landscape the company has NFS mounts between the servers On the AWS infrastructure side the company is using Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) to share the common files
An SAP solutions architect needs to design a solution to schedule transfer of these shared files bidirectional four times each day. The data transfer must be encrypted
Which solution will meet these requirements?

AWS DataSync can be used to schedule and automate the transfer of data between on-premises NFS servers and Amazon EFS on AWS. It also allows data to be encrypted during transfer, which meets the requirement for encryption.

Not sure if rsync is secure enough for this.

D is overkill for just file synchronization.

I disagree, A could work too with the right setup.

I recall that Direct Connect is great for stable connections, but I wonder if it’s necessary just for file synchronization.

I’m a bit confused about the Snowcone option. I thought it was more for large data transfers rather than ongoing synchronization.

I think AWS DataSync could be the right choice here. It was mentioned in a practice question about syncing data securely between on-premises and AWS.

I remember we discussed using rsync for file transfers, but I'm not sure if it's the best option for bi-directional sync.

Option A with the rsync script could work, but scheduling and automating that across multiple servers seems risky. I'd prefer a more managed service like DataSync to handle the heavy lifting.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the different file system types and how they'll work together. I'll need to research the Amazon EFS and on-premises NFS integration a bit more to feel confident in my answer.

This seems like a straightforward data synchronization problem, and I think option B with AWS DataSync is the way to go. It's designed for this exact use case and will handle the encryption and scheduling requirements.

I'm leaning towards option D with the AWS Direct Connect connection. That would provide a dedicated, high-speed link between the on-premises and cloud environments, which could be useful for this large data transfer.

I'll probably go with option B. Grouping by features seems like it would align best with the Scrum methodology.

Haha, yeah, the Snowcone option is a bit of a stretch. Although it would be kind of fun to have a little snow in the data center.

B: Haha, true. Snow in the data center does sound interesting, but not very practical in this case.

A: Definitely. Plus, it's a more practical solution compared to ordering a Snowcone device just for data transfer.

Ha! Snowcone? Really? I don't think they're going to want to deal with physically shipping a device for this. AWS DataSync is definitely the way to go.
