Instructor: So here is a quick lecture
on a new kind of file gateway,
which is the Amazon FSx File Gateway.
So the Amazon FSx File Gateway,
it gives you native access to the Amazon FSx
for Windows File Server offering on AWS.
So here's an example,
we have FSx for Windows File Server running on the AWS Cloud
with different file systems,
but we won't access to access them
with your Corporate Data Center.
So you could access them directly actually
from your Corporate Data Center to the cloud,
but it would be a bit more efficient
because of local location reasons
to use an Amazon FSx File Gateway.
So the File Gateway is just a proxy
and it will access your file systems on the cloud directly.
But the feature that has, that the File Gateway has
that is really, really awesome
is the local cache for frequently accessed data
And that means that your data on the FSx File Gateway
is going to be cached
and so, it's going to have low-latency
if it's access frequently from your Corporate Data Center,
which is a main advantage of using the File Gateway.
So there is a Windows native compatibility.
So the SMB protocol is respected.
You have NTFS integration, Active Directory, and so on,
And then, it's going to be very helpful
when you have, for example,
group file shares or home directories
on your Corporate Data Center
that you want them to be backed up
by Amazon FSx in the backend, okay?
So the real reason you would use the FSx File Gateway
would really be through,
have a local cache for the frequently accessed data
from your Fsx, from this File Server.
And that's it, that's why I make this lecture very short.
That's the scope of what the exam would ask you.
So that's it for this lecture.
I hope you liked it,
and I will see you in the next lecture.
