1. A. Use a HTTPS GET to the Amazon S3 bucket where the files are located.
2. B. Restore by implementing a lifecycle policy on the Amazon S3 bucket.
3. C. Make an Amazon Glacier Restore API call to load the files into another Amazon S3 bucket within four to six hours.
4. D. Launch a new AWS Storage Gateway instance AMI in Amazon EC2, and restore from a gateway snapshot.
5. E. Create an Amazon EBS volume from a gateway snapshot, and mount it to an Amazon EC2 instance.
6. F. Launch an AWS Storage Gateway virtual iSCSI device at the branch office, and restore from a gateway snapshot.

Correct Answer: DEF
A is certainly not right, because files persisted by Storage Gateway to S3 are not visible, let alone be accessible.

B is invalid option because you cannot apply Lifecycle Policies because AWS Storage Gateway
does not give you that option. Cached Volumes are never stored to Glacier and hence “C” is not valid.
