AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question

AWS Snowball is the most cost-effective solution for transferring large amounts of data like 50 TB within a limited time frame. Snowball devices are physically shipped to the customer, allowing them to load their data onto the device. This method avoids high network bandwidth costs and is suitable for transferring large datasets securely and efficiently. AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection but is not practical for short-term data transfers due to higher costs and longer setup times. AWS DataSync automates data transfers over the Internet, but transferring 50 TB could incur high bandwidth costs and may not complete within a week. Uploading data over the Internet using S3 Transfer Acceleration may not be cost-effective or timely for transferring such a large amount of data and could result in high transfer costs.
