Choosing a Gateway Type
With a volume gateway, you can create storage volumes in the AWS Cloud that your on-premises
applications can access as Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) targets. There are two
options:
• Cached volumes (p. 3)—Store your data in AWS and retain a copy of frequently accessed data subsets
locally.
• Stored volumes (p. 5)—Store all your data locally and asynchronously back up point-in-time
snapshots to AWS.
To choose a gateway type
1. Open the AWS Management Console at http://console.www.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home,
and choose the AWS Region that you want to create your gateway in.
If you have previously created a gateway in this AWS Region, the console shows your gateway.
Otherwise, the service homepage appears.
2. If you haven't created a gateway in the AWS Region you selected, choose Get started. If you already
have a gateway in the AWS Region you chose, choose Gateways from the navigation pane, and then
choose Create gateway.
3. On the Select gateway type page, choose Volume gateway, choose the type of volume, and then
choose Next.
