A company runs a hybrid architecture where on-premises servers in a data center connect to AWS resources over an AWS Site-to-Site VPN. The on-premises servers frequently transfer large amounts of data to and from Amazon S3 buckets in the same AWS Region. The company noticed high data transfer costs. The VPC has a virtual private gateway attached. What is the most cost-effective way to reduce the data transfer costs between the on-premises servers and S3?

Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration on the bucket and update the on-premises applications to use the accelerated endpoint.

Move the on-premises servers to AWS and run them in the same VPC as the S3 bucket.

Create a gateway VPC endpoint for S3 in the VPC and update the on-premises route tables to route S3 traffic through the VPN to the endpoint.

Use AWS Direct Connect with a public VIF to connect the on-premises data center to AWS, and route S3 traffic over the Direct Connect connection.

Which AWS compute service is a serverless container service that allows you to run containers without managing the underlying EC2 instances?

Amazon ECS with EC2 launch type

Amazon EKS with managed node groups
