Correct Answer: C. Migrate the file Share to Amazon FSx dor Windows File Server.

Explanation

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server provides fully managed, highly reliable file storage that is accessible over the industry-standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It is built on Windows Server, delivering a wide range of administrative features such as user quotas, end- user file restore, and Microsoft Active Directory (AD) integration. It offers single-AZ and multi-AZ deployment options, fully managed backups, and encryption of data at rest and in transit.This is the only solution presented that provides resilient storage for Windows instances. CORRECT:"Migrate the file share to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server" is the correct answer. INCORRECT:"Migrate the file share to Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)" is incorrect as you cannot use Windows instances with Amazon EFS.INCORRECT: "Migrate the file share to Amazon RDS" is incorrect as this is not a shared storage solution for multi-AZ deployments.INCORRECT: "Migrate the file share to AWS Storage Gateway" is incorrect as with Storage Gateway replicated files end up on Amazon S3. The replacement storage solution should be a file share, not an object-based storage system.References:https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/windows/
