A company is migrating an application to AWS. It wants to use fully managed services as much as possible during the migration The company needs to…

Amazon S3 is a fully managed object storage service designed for high durability (99.999999999%) and availability, making it ideal for storing large, important documents. The solution meets all requirements directly:

1. Encryption in transit: A bucket policy can enforce the use of HTTPS (TLS) for all data transfers.

2. Encryption at rest: Server-Side Encryption with AWS Key Management Service (SSE-KMS) encrypts objects using a KMS key.

3. Key Management: Using SSE-KMS with a customer-managed key gives the company full control over the key's lifecycle, including periodic rotation, which can be automated within AWS KMS. This approach leverages fully managed services to meet all security and operational requirements efficiently.

A. Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud service for connecting on-premises infrastructure to AWS storage. It is not the most direct, fully managed solution for a new cloud-native application.

C. Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database with a maximum item size of 400 KB. It is unsuitable for storing "large, important documents" and is designed for structured key-value data, not files.

D. Using EC2 instances with EBS volumes is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) approach, not a fully managed service. It requires managing the operating system and instances, and EBS has lower native durability than S3.
