5. Question

A healthcare company stores sensitive patient health records in their on-premises storage systems.

The Solutions Architect must design a solution to immediately move existing records to AWS and support the ever-growing number of new health records.

Which of the following is the most suitable solution that the Solutions Architect should implement to meet the above requirements?

Set up AWS DataSync to move the existing health records from the on-premises network to the AWS Cloud. Launch a new Amazon S3 bucket to store existing and new records. Enable AWS CloudTrail with Management Events and Amazon S3 Object Lock in the bucket.
Set up AWS Storage Gateway to move the existing health records from the on-premises network to the AWS Cloud. Launch a new Amazon S3 bucket to store existing and new records. Enable AWS CloudTrail with Management Events and Amazon S3 Object Lock in the bucket.
