File Gateway vs Volume Gateway

  • File Gateway enables you to store and retrieve objects in S3 using file protocols such as NFS and SMB. Objects written through File Gateway can be directly accessed in S3.

  • Volume Gateway provides block storage to your on-premises applications using iSCSI connectivity. Data on the volumes is stored in S3 and you can take point in time copies of volumes which are stored in AWS as EBS snapshots.
