Storage gateway
hybrid cloud for storage
Overview
Bridge between on-premises & cloud
Providing
low-latency
access to data by caching frequently accessed data on-premises while storing archive data securely and durably in Amazon cloud storage services.
4 types
S3 file gateway
S3 buckets are accessible using NFS & SMB protocols.
Most recent used data are cached in the file gateway.
Bucket access using IAM role for each file gateway
SMB protocol is integrated with AD (Active Directory) for user authentication.
FSx file gateway
Local cache for frequently accessed data.
Window native compatability (, NTFS, AD...)
Volume gateway
Block storage using iSCSI protocol backed by S3.
Stored volume: stores the entire data set on-premises and asynchronously backs up the data to AWS.
Cached volume: stores recently accessed data on-premises, and the remaining data is stored in Amazon S3.
Backup: using this can backup on-prem data using EBS volume
Tape gateway
Virtual Tape Library (VTL) backed by using S3 and Glacier.
Backup data using tape-based process (iSCSI protocol)
Use cases
Disaster recovery
Backup & restore
On-prem cache & low latency file access
