Your customer wants to set up a data pipeline to take advantage of some AWS...

The correct solution is the CloudMirror service. CloudMirror is a StorageGRID Platform Service that automatically replicates selected objects from a StorageGRID S3 bucket to an external S3-compatible destination, including Amazon S3. NetApp specifically identifies the use case of mirroring newly ingested customer data into Amazon S3 so that AWS services can perform analytics or other processing on that data.

CloudMirror operates independently of the grid's active ILM policies. After object ingest succeeds, StorageGRID attempts to deliver the replicated object to the configured destination as soon as possible. The tenant configures a Platform Services endpoint containing the destination Amazon S3 bucket information and credentials, then applies a CloudMirror replication configuration to the source bucket.

Option B is incorrect because cross-grid replication is designed for replication between StorageGRID systems connected through grid federation, rather than for using Amazon S3 as an external analytics destination. NetApp XCP and Robocopy are file migration/copy utilities and are not StorageGRID's native event-driven S3 replication mechanism.

Therefore, D. CloudMirror service directly satisfies the requirement to replicate newly ingested StorageGRID objects into Amazon S3 for downstream AWS processing.
