AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional SAP-C02 Practice Question
Your organization must migrate approximately 120 TB of on-premises scientific data to Amazon S3 within the next 10 calendar days. The research facility is located in a rural area with a maximum outbound WAN bandwidth of 50 Mbps, and the connection is shared with production workloads. All data must remain protected by FIPS 140-2 validated encryption modules during transit and while at rest. Which AWS service or combination of services will meet the schedule with the LEAST disruption to the existing network?
Request an AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized device, install the AWS DataSync agent on it, and copy the data over the WAN link into S3.
Request two AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized (80 TB) devices, copy the data across both appliances, and ship them back to AWS for import into S3.
Order a single AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized (210 TB) device, copy the data to its NFS or S3-compatible endpoint, and return the appliance for automatic import into the target S3 bucket.
Deploy AWS DataSync on-premises and throttle the transfer to 50 Mbps over the existing VPN to upload the data directly to Amazon S3.
A single Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device provides 210 TB of usable storage capacity-enough to hold the 120-TB dataset on a single appliance. Because the device is loaded locally, the customer avoids sending 120 TB across the 50-Mbps link, a transfer that would otherwise require months. Snowball jobs use 256-bit encryption, and the service offers FIPS 140-2 validated hardware, satisfying the security requirement. The DataSync options rely on the constrained WAN link and would fail to meet the deadline. Using multiple smaller devices would introduce unnecessary operational overhead compared to using a single, appropriately-sized appliance.
