A media company needs to migrate its Windows-based video editing environment to AWS.

The workload is Windows-based and requires a shared file system with SMB support and very high throughput for 4K video editing.

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is a fully managed, highly available native Windows file system that supports the SMB protocol, Active Directory integration, and can deliver high throughput and low latency suitable for media workloads.

FSx for Windows File Server supports automatic storage scaling to grow file system capacity as data increases, matching the requirement of +1 TB per week with minimal admin effort.

A Multi-AZ SSD deployment provides high availability and performance.

Why others are not correct:

B: Amazon EFS is NFS, not SMB, and is optimized for Linux clients, not Windows-based environments.

C: FSx for Lustre is a high-performance POSIX file system typically used with Linux-based HPC workloads, not Windows + SMB.

D: S3 File Gateway is not designed for sustained multi-GB/s shared-edit performance and adds additional complexity; it is more suited for backup/archival and limited shared file access.
