AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Exam - Question 512

Question

A media company has a 30-T8 repository of digital news videos. These videos are stored on tape in an on-premises tape library and referenced by a Media Asset Management (MAM) system. The company wants to enrich the metadata for these videos in an automated fashion and put them into a searchable catalog by using a MAM feature. The company must be able to search based on information in the video, such as objects, scenery items, or people’s faces. A catalog is available that contains faces of people who have appeared in the videos that include an image of each person. The company would like to migrate these videos to AWS.

The company has a high-speed AWS Direct Connect connection with AWS and would like to move the MAM solution video content directly from its current file system.

How can these requirements be met by using the LEAST amount of ongoing management overhead and causing MINIMAL disruption to the existing system?

Examice · Accepted Answer

To meet the company's requirements with the least amount of ongoing management overhead and minimal disruption to the existing system, using an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway appliance on-premises is a suitable approach. This setup allows the MAM solution to extract videos from the current archive and push them into the file gateway. The file gateway will then store the data in Amazon S3, where Amazon Rekognition can access and process the videos to retrieve the required metadata. This solution leverages AWS's managed services, reducing the need for extensive ongoing management while ensuring a seamless integration with the existing system.

B - Tape Gateway

Hizumi · Answer

Answer is B - Use Tape Gateway, then Lambda and Rekognition can be used to process and index the data for the MAM system.

Use the MAM solution to extract the videos from the current archive and push them into

felon124 · Answer

It is not possible to directly invoke Amazon Rekognition to process videos that are stored on an AWS Storage Gateway (whether it's a file gateway or tape gateway). Amazon Rekognition processes videos that are stored in Amazon S3.

A
A tape gateway appliance is required.
AWS Storage Gateway also requires S3 or other storage.

Russs99 · Answer

ape Gateway is designed for offline data transfer, not ideal for actively accessed videos.

toma · Answer

Answer is B: "These videos are stored on tape in an on-premises tape library...."

asquared16 · Answer

Yes the videos were stored on tape on premise, but the solution requires active processing later on, this can't be done on Tape GW; won't make sense.

Use the MAM solution to extract the videos from the current archive

JoeTromundo · Answer

AWS Rekognition is capable of processing both images and videos from the following sources: Amazon S3, directly passed images, Kinesis Video Streams. Although option C mentions Kinesis Video Streams, it would be an overkill for a scenario where videos are not being streamed in real time, and it introduces unnecessary complexity. So the solution using the LEAST amount of ongoing management overhead and causing MINIMAL disruption to the existing system is A.

Danm86 · Answer

I believe A should be the write answer of using file gateway, since there is processing of data required before storing. and Tape Gateway cannot be directly used, it involves complexity

bdloko · Answer

How do people come-up with such scenarios?

You can use Tape Gateway to archive data you need to preserve at another offsite location for disaster recovery or regulatory compliance needs. Tape Gateway enables you to replace magnetic tape libraries and physical tapes with AWS Cloud storage for long-term storage retention needs.

AzureDP900 · Answer

A 
Using an on-premises file gateway appliance with AWS Storage Gateway has several advantages over using a tape gateway:
Less administrative burden: Managing the file gateway appliance is still handled by AWS, reducing your administrative tasks.
Easier to scale: With a file gateway, you can scale more easily to handle increasing amounts of video content.
More flexible storage options: You can store videos in Amazon S3, which provides more flexibility and scalability compared to tape storage.

0b43291 · Answer

Option A leverages fully managed AWS services (AWS Storage Gateway, Amazon Rekognition, AWS Lambda, and Amazon S3) while minimizing disruption to the existing MAM solution and its workflow for extracting videos from the tape library. This approach strikes a balance between leveraging AWS services for metadata enrichment, face recognition, and durable video storage while causing minimal disruption to the existing system and minimizing ongoing management overhead.

extract videos from onprem tapes - push through file gateway to S3

SIJUTHOMASP · Answer

Since the need is "move the MAM solution video content directly from its current file system.", they want the files from tape to another storage which can be S3. Hence the solution would be A.

albert_kuo · Answer

Because of the company wants to enrich the metadata for these videos in an automated fashion and put them into a searchable catalog by using a MAM feature, so exclude B
