This configuration allows on-premises applications to access data in Amazon S3 with low latency by caching frequently accessed data locally, while all data is stored durably in S3. This reduces dependency on on-premises storage servers and requires minimal infrastructure changes, as existing iSCSI initiators can connect directly to the gateway. An Amazon S3 File Gateway is incorrect because it provides file-level access (NFS/SMB) to S3, not block-level iSCSI access. Amazon EBS is
