A company is planning to migrate an application from on premises to the AWS Cloud. The company will begin the migration by moving the application’s underlying data storage to AWS. The application data is stored on a shared file system on premises, and the application servers connect to the shared file system through SMB. A solutions architect must implement a solution that uses an Amazon S3 bucket for shared storage. Until the application is fully migrated and code is rewritten to use native Amazon S3 APIs, the application must continue to have access to the data through SMB. The solutions architect must migrate the application data to AWS to its new location while still allowing the on-premises application to access the data. Which solution will meet these requirements?
