AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Exam Prep Course - Storage Gateway

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at AWS Storage Gateway, which consists of three main components: File Gateway, Volume Gateway, and Tape Gateway. Each component serves a unique purpose in integrating on-premises environments with AWS cloud services. The File Gateway offers a seamless interface for Amazon S3, supporting NFS and SMB protocols. The Volume Gateway provides iSCSI volumes with cached and stored options for data management and backup. The Tape Gateway facilitates cloud-based storage for tape backups using Glacier and Deep Archive. The tutorial concludes with exam preparation tips.
