The scenario requires creating multiple copies of S3 object data with different protection schemes and in different locations, including an external public cloud. This is achieved in NetApp StorageGRID using Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) rules. A key component of this strategy is the Cloud Storage Pool, which is specifically designed to tier or back up object data from a StorageGRID system to an external S3-compatible endpoint, such as Amazon S3. The administrator would configure a Cloud Storage Pool pointing to AWS and then create an ILM rule that makes a local replicated copy, a geo-dispersed erasure-coded copy, and finally, archives a copy to the Cloud Storage Pool for backup to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive.

B. FabricPool: This is a NetApp ONTAP feature for tiering cold data from high-performance ONTAP aggregates to object storage, not a feature within StorageGRID for managing S3 buckets.

C. Flash Pool: This is a NetApp ONTAP feature that creates a hybrid storage aggregate (SSD+HDD) to use flash as a cache, which is unrelated to StorageGRID object management.

D. Dynamic Disk Pool: This is a data protection technology for NetApp E-Series (SANtricity) block storage systems, not for the StorageGRID object storage platform.

1. NetApp StorageGRID 11.7 Documentation - Manage ILM:

Section: "What a Cloud Storage Pool is"

Content: "A Cloud Storage Pool provides a way for a StorageGRID system to store object data in a public cloud, on the same or a different StorageGRID system, or on a non-NetApp S3-compatible storage system. You can use Cloud Storage Pools for long-term archival or as a low-cost storage option." This directly supports the use of a Cloud Storage Pool to send a copy to Amazon S3.

2. NetApp StorageGRID 11.7 Documentation - ILM concepts:

Section: "How ILM rules work"

Content: "An ILM rule can include one or more placements. For example, you might create a rule that stores one replicated copy of an object at your main data center and a second replicated copy at a remote data center... You can also create rules that store erasure-coded copies or that move objects to a Cloud Storage Pool." This confirms that a single ILM rule can manage replicated, erasure-coded, and cloud-tiered copies simultaneously.

3. NetApp ONTAP 9 Documentation - FabricPool:

Section: "Overview of FabricPool"

Content: "FabricPool is a NetApp data tiering technology that enables you to automatically tier cold data from a high-performance all-flash (SSD) aggregate to a low-cost object store tier." This confirms FabricPool is an ONTAP, not a StorageGRID, feature.
