AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company needs to transfer 100 TB of data from its on-premises data center to Amazon S3 quickly and cost-effectively. Which service should the company use to migrate the data?
AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized is designed for transferring large amounts of data (up to petabytes) to AWS efficiently and securely. By physically shipping the Snowball Edge device to AWS, the company can avoid the limitations and costs associated with network bandwidth. AWS DataSync can transfer data over the Internet or via dedicated network, but moving 100 TB may be slower and incur higher network costs. AWS Storage Gateway enables hybrid storage integration but is not intended for one-time, bulk data migrations. AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection, but setting it up can be time-consuming and costly for a one-time transfer.
