You want to have automatic tiering of all data blocks from a SnapMirror destination volume to an Amazon S3 bucket for both Cloud Volumes ONTAP and…

FabricPool is the NetApp ONTAP technology designed for automatic data tiering. It identifies and moves inactive (cold) data blocks from a high-performance SSD aggregate (the performance tier) to a low-cost object storage repository, such as an Amazon S3 bucket (the capacity tier). This process is transparent to applications and users. FabricPool is supported on both on-premises ONTAP systems and Cloud Volumes ONTAP, and it can be enabled on SnapMirror destination volumes, making it the precise solution for the described scenario.

A. Cloud Sync: This is a data migration and synchronization service for moving entire file-based datasets, not for automatic block-level tiering within a volume.

C. ONTAP S3: This feature allows an ONTAP system to act as an S3 object server itself, rather than tiering data to an external S3 bucket.

D. FlexCache software: This is a caching technology that creates a local, sparse copy of a remote volume to accelerate read performance, not for tiering cold data.

Section: "What is FabricPool?", Page 5.

Content: "FabricPool is a NetApp ONTAP data-tiering technology that enables you to automatically tier cold data from a high-performance all-flash (all-SSD) aggregate to a low-cost object storage tier either on the premises or in the cloud."

Content: "FabricPool is fully supported on SnapMirror source and destination volumes."

2. NetApp ONTAP Documentation, "Manage storage with FabricPool tiers":

Section: "How FabricPool works"

Content: "FabricPool is a hybrid storage solution that uses an all-flash aggregate as a performance tier and an object store as a capacity tier. Data on the performance tier is moved to the capacity tier when it becomes inactive (cold)." This documentation applies to both on-premises and Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
