A company is migrating to Amazon S3. The company needs to transfer 60 (CLF-C02)
A company is migrating to Amazon S3. The company needs to transfer 60 TB of data from an on-premises data center to AWS within 10 days.
Which AWS service should the company use to accomplish this migration?
A. Amazon S3 Glacier
B. AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
C. AWS Snowball
D. AWS Direct Connect
Solution
Correct answer: C. AWS Snowball.
AWS Snowball is a petabyte-scale data transfer service that allows you to transfer large amounts of data from on-premises data centers to AWS. It is designed for large-scale data migrations, and it can transfer data at a rate of up to 100 TB per device. Since the company needs to transfer 60 TB of data within 10 days, AWS Snowball is the most suitable option.
Amazon S3 Glacier (A) is a long-term storage service that is not designed for data transfer. AWS Database Migration Service (B) is used for database migrations, not for transferring large amounts of data to S3. AWS Direct Connect (D) is a network service that provides a dedicated network connection from on-premises data centers to AWS, but it is not designed for large-scale data transfer.
