    AWS SAP-C02 · Question 72 · Domain 4.3: Migration Strategy

    An enterprise is migrating a massive on-premises data archive (2 Petabytes) to Amazon S3. Their internet connection is 1 Gbps, which is heavily utilized by production traffic. They need to migrate the data securely within 30 days. Which FOUR actions should the architect take? (Select FOUR)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Use AWS DataSync over the internet connection.

    B.

    Order multiple AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices.

    C.

    Order an AWS Snowcone device.

    D.

    Connect the Snowball devices to the local network and use the Amazon S3 Adapter to copy data.

    E.

    Ship the devices back to AWS, where the data will be imported into the target S3 bucket.

    F.

    Use AWS Storage Gateway to cache the 2 PB locally.

    G.

    Ensure data is encrypted using AWS KMS during the transfer process.

    H.

    Establish a new 10 Gbps Direct Connect connection.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the offline data transfer service suitable for Petabyte scale.

    Full Answer

    For petabyte-scale transfers with limited bandwidth, offline transfer using AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices is required. You order the devices, copy data locally using the S3 adapter (which encrypts it via KMS), and ship them back to AWS for import.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking DataSync or Direct Connect can meet the 30-day deadline.
