RecognitionAWS Storage Gateway
Hybrid storage context; no direct numbered skill names it.
Key points
- Storage Gateway supplies hybrid storage context and remains recognition-level unless the task explicitly names that path.
Best-known use cases
- D1.3, D2.3, and D3.2: operate a named hybrid storage path without expanding it into an unscored architecture design.
What candidates often confuse it with
- Storage Gateway connects hybrid storage workflows; DataSync manages data movement and AWS Backup governs supported recovery points.
Key takeaway
Keep Storage Gateway tied to the stated hybrid operation and verify the local, network, and AWS storage boundaries.
