AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company needs to periodically transfer large datasets from its on-premises data center to Amazon S3 for archival purposes. The datasets range from 50 to 100 TB, and the transfers are expected to happen monthly. What is the BEST method to minimize transfer costs while ensuring the data is transferred within a week each month?
Employ AWS Snowball appliances to physically ship the data.
Utilize a VPN to transfer the data over the internet.
Increase the available bandwidth of AWS Direct Connect for the duration of the transfer.
Implement a dedicated network line for frequent high-volume transfers.
AWS Snowball is the most cost-effective service for transferring large amounts of data infrequently. AWS Snowball is a less expensive option than transferring over the internet when dealing with large data volumes due to the fixed fee per data transfer job. Additionally, with Snowball, customers can avoid incurring high costs due to the extensive use of internet bandwidth or Direct Connect over large data sets. Transferring via VPN would be slower and more costly when handling such data sizes, while relying on increased Direct Connect bandwidth would entail higher recurring monthly costs for bandwidth that may not be fully utilized...
