A retail company needs to securely transfer several petabytes of sales transaction data into the cloud as part of its digital transformation strategy. The existing internet connection would make this transfer slow and expensive. Which service should the company utilize to accomplish the transfer quickly and cost-effectively?
The correct answer is 'Snowball', a physical data transport solution that helps transfer massive amounts of data into and out of the cloud platform without depending on the internet, reducing data transfer time and costs. 'Direct Connect' establishes a dedicated network connection but does not address the issue of physically transferring large data sets. The 'Management Console' is an interface for managing cloud services rather than a data transfer tool. 'EC2' instances run workloads in the cloud rather than facilitating data transfer, and while 'S3' is used for data storage, it doesn't represent a physical transfer device. 'CloudFormation' is used for infrastructure as code, not for data transfer.
