A media production company uses ECS to store raw footage. Editors need to access project files from Windows workstations as if they were on a local drive, but the files must remain in ECS and be synchronized when edited. The IT team has installed GeoDrive on each workstation. What must the administrator configure first to enable this access?

Install the ECS CLI on each workstation and run the 'ecs bucket list' command to verify connectivity.

Configure a REST API endpoint in GeoDrive pointing to the ECS management API for file access.

Create a GeoDrive mapping to the ECS bucket containing the footage, using the ECS namespace and object user credentials.

Set up an NFS export on ECS and mount it on the Windows workstations using the built-in NFS client.

An administrator is configuring the ECS CLI on a Linux server to automate bucket creation. The administrator wants to ensure that the CLI can be used in a script without prompting for credentials each time. What is the recommended approach?

Use the ECS management API to generate a token and set it as the default in the CLI configuration.

Set the ECS credentials as environment variables in the script and source them before each CLI command.

Run 'ecs config' once and store the configuration in the default location, then use the CLI in scripts without additional prompts.

Create a wrapper script that passes the credentials as command-line arguments to every CLI command.

A DevOps engineer wants to automate the creation of buckets and the upload of artifacts to ECS from a CI/CD pipeline running on a Linux build server. The engineer has downloaded the ECS CLI binary. What is the next required step before the CLI can be used to perform these operations?

Create a GeoDrive mapping on the build server to access the ECS buckets.

Deploy the ECS CLI to a Windows workstation and run it from there.

Run 'ecs config' and provide the ECS endpoint, namespace, and object user credentials.

Generate an S3 access key and secret key, then set them as environment variables for the CLI.

A system administrator is setting up the ECS CLI on a Windows workstation to manage ECS resources. After installing the CLI, the administrator runs 'ecs config' and provides the endpoint, namespace, and credentials. The CLI returns an authentication error. What is the most likely cause?

The object user credentials provided are incorrect or the user is locked out.

The ECS endpoint is unreachable from the workstation.

The ECS CLI is not compatible with Windows.

The namespace specified does not exist.
