An architect must transfer 80 TB of data from an on-prem datacenter to S3 where the available network bandwidth would take months. Which AWS service is BEST?
AManual rsync from a laptop
BAWS Snowball (or Snowball Edge) — offline appliance shipping
CAWS DataSync over the existing slow link
DAWS Direct Connect only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. AWS Snowball (or Snowball Edge) — offline appliance shipping
Snowball is offline TB-PB transfer (per SAP-C02 §4.2). DataSync needs adequate bandwidth; manual rsync doesn't scale; DX is a link but doesn't change physics.
