AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company needs to transfer 50 TB of data from its on-premises data center to cloud storage for archival purposes within one week. They have a high-speed internet connection with 500 Mbps upload bandwidth but want to minimize transfer costs. Which method should they choose to transfer the data to the cloud storage?
Ship the data using a physical data transport appliance like Snowball Edge.
Upload the data over the Internet using command-line tools.
Use a data transfer service to transfer the data over the Internet.
Establish a dedicated network connection and transfer the data directly.
Shipping the data using a physical data transport appliance like Snowball Edge provides the most cost-effective and time-efficient method for transferring large amounts of data to the cloud. It avoids the limitations of network bandwidth and reduces costs associated with prolonged Internet transfers. Transferring 50 TB over a 500 Mbps connection would take over 9 days, exceeding the one-week requirement, and could incur higher costs due to extended network usage. Using data transfer services over the Internet or uploading via command-line tools would face similar time constraints and potentially higher costs. Establishing a dedicated network connection is not feasible within a week and involves substantial setup costs.
