A company that primarily runs application servers on premises plans to migrate to AWS. The company wants to minimize the need to scale on‑premises iSCSI storage and keep only recently accessed data stored locally. Which AWS Storage Gateway configuration should the company use?

Volume Gateway cached volumes are ideal for this scenario because they store all application data in Amazon S3 while retaining a frequently accessed subset of data locally in a cache. This minimizes the need for on-premises iSCSI storage scaling and ensures low-latency access to recent data. Amazon S3 File Gateway is incorrect because it provides file-based access (NFS/SMB) to S3, not block-level iSCSI. Tape Gateway is incorrect as it's used for backup and archival to virtual tapes. Volume Gateway stored volumes are incorrect because they store the primary data copy on-premises, which goes against the goal of minimizing local storage.
