In NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP for AWS, which three protocols are supported for accessing data? (Choose three.)

In NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP for AWS, the supported protocols for accessing data include NFS (Network File System), iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface), and SMB (Server Message Block).

NFS is a widely used protocol for sharing files in a network, especially in UNIX/Linux environments. It allows multiple clients to access files over the network as if they were local, making it ideal for scalable workloads that require high throughput.

iSCSI is significant as it enables block-level access to storage over IP networks. This means that applications that require direct access to disk volumes can use this protocol, which enhances performance for certain types of database applications and other data-intensive tasks.

SMB, particularly popular in Windows environments, supports file sharing and provides access to shared folders and files. It is critical for any Windows-based application needing file system access over the network.

While FC (Fibre Channel) is a high-speed network technology primarily used in storage-area networks (SAN), it is not supported in the Cloud Volumes ONTAP for AWS environment, which emphasizes the use of standard, IP-based protocols that are widely compatible in cloud deployment scenarios.
