Amazon S3 File Gateway provides a local NFS mount point, which can be used with minimal changes by the legacy application. Files are transparently uploaded to Amazon S3, allowing the web application to access them directly from S3. This is the most cost-effective and operationally simple way to bridge legacy on-premises NFS output with S3, requiring no changes to the batch process.

AWS Documentation Extract:

“With S3 File Gateway, you can provide applications a local file interface to Amazon S3. S3 File Gateway presents a file-based interface (NFS or SMB), allowing you to use S3 as your scalable, durable storage while making files available to legacy applications.”

A: Outposts is far more costly and complex than needed.

B: Volume Gateway presents iSCSI block storage, not NFS.
