A company has a centralized group of users with large file storage requirements that have exceeded the space available on premises. The company wants to extend its file storage capabilities for this group while retaining the performance benefit of sharing content locally. What is the MOST operationally efficient AWS solution for this scenario?

• Create an Amazon S3 bucket for each user. Mount each bucket by using an S3 file system mounting utility.

• Configure and deploy an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway. Connect each user’s workstation to the file gateway.

• Move each user’s working environment to Amazon WorkSpaces. Set up an Amazon WorkDocs account for each user.

• Deploy an Amazon EC2 instance and attach an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Provisioned IOPS volume. Share the EBS volume directly with the users.

According to security best practices, how should an Amazon EC2 instance be given access to an Amazon S3 bucket?

• Hard code an IAM user’s secret key and access key directly in the application, and upload the file.

• Store the IAM user’s secret key and access key in a text file on the EC2 instance, read the keys, then upload the file.

• Have the EC2 instance assume a role to obtain the privileges to upload the file.

• Modify the S3 bucket policy so that any service can upload to it at any time.
