How many types of AWS Storage Gateway configurations are there?

Two
Three
Four
Five

The correct answer is: Four

AWS Storage Gateway offers four distinct configurations that cater to different storage and data transfer needs in a cloud environment. These configurations are: 1. **File Gateway**: This configuration allows you to store and retrieve objects in Amazon S3 using standard file protocols. It effectively provides a way to connect on-premises applications to cloud storage through file-based interfaces, making it ideal for use cases like backup and archiving. 2. **Volume Gateway**: This type can be used in two modes: cached and stored. Cached volumes keep your data in Amazon S3 and retain only frequently accessed data on-premises, while stored volumes keep the entire data set on-premises and asynchronously back up snapshots to S3. This flexibility supports different data management strategies depending on the application's need. 3. **Tape Gateway**: Designed for data archiving, this configuration emulates a physical tape infrastructure in the cloud. It serves as a bridge between on-premises backup applications and cloud-based tape storage, allowing organizations to leverage cloud scalability for tape backup and archive needs. 4. **File Gateway with Amazon S3 Object Lambda**: This advanced configuration allows custom processing of data when it is retrieved from S3, effectively transforming data in real-time while serving it to the on-prem
