A company migrates product development teams into a hybrid environment with four new AWS Regions, allowing developers to use the nearest Region. All teams use a shared set of Linux applications stored on an on-prem NetApp ONTAP volume mounted read-only. The applications are updated weekly. The engineer must replicate the data to all Regions so it stays current with deduplication and so deployments never depend on the on-prem storage. Which solution meets these requirements?

The correct solution leverages Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, which natively supports NetApp's SnapMirror technology. SnapMirror is designed for efficient, incremental replication of ONTAP volumes, including deduplication, directly from on-premises NetApp ONTAP to FSx for NetApp ONTAP in AWS. This ensures data consistency, utilizes NetApp's native replication capabilities, and eliminates dependence on on-premises storage for deployments once replicated. Deploying FSx for NetApp ONTAP in each Region allows developers to access the nearest, fully replicated data. Incorrect options: S3 File Gateway is not ideal for replicating an entire file system with native deduplication and maintaining file system attributes efficiently across multiple Regions for direct application use. Amazon FSx File Gateway is for Windows File Server, not NetApp ONTAP, and would not support native SnapMirror replication. EFS is not NetApp ONTAP and would not support SnapMirror. DataSync could copy data but wouldn't preserve NetApp's native deduplication or offer the same level of integration as SnapMirror.
