About This Architecture

AWS S3 File Gateway migration architecture for non-production environments, connecting on-premises application servers (ECM, WEM, eTax) to cloud-native S3 storage via a temporary gateway appliance. The File Gateway VM (10.101.109.52) with 1.124TB total disk capacity bridges on-premises NFS/SMB clients to eight S3 file shares through VPN and PrivateLink connectivity in ap-southeast-1. This pattern demonstrates hybrid cloud file access without refactoring legacy applications, enabling gradual migration while maintaining NFS/SMB protocol compatibility. Fork this diagram to customize VPC IDs, disk allocations, or add production failover patterns. Consider this non-prod setup as a validation blueprint before scaling to production with redundancy and enhanced monitoring.

How do I migrate on-premises NFS and SMB file shares to AWS S3 without refactoring applications?

Use AWS Storage Gateway S3 File Gateway, which runs as a VM appliance on-premises and exposes S3 buckets as NFS/SMB shares to legacy applications. This diagram shows a non-prod setup with eight file shares (ECM, WEM, eTax) connected via PrivateLink and VPN, allowing seamless cloud migration while maintaining protocol compatibility.
