This course has been created for those that are looking to implement a hybrid storage solution or those who have interest in AWS storage gateway that may need a bit more information on how it works. 

By the end of this course, you will have a greater understanding of: 

• AWS Storage Gateway and its architecture

• Which type of storage gateway to use for your use case, and 

• How to create a storage gateway using the EC2 platform 

To get the most out of this course, you should have a strong understanding of storage in AWS, including knowledge of Amazon S3, Amazon FSx, Amazon EBS, and Amazon Glacier.
