A company needs to migrate a MySQL database from its on-premises data center to AWS within 2 weeks. The database is 20 TB in size. The company wants to complete the migration with minimal downtime.

Which solution will migrate the database MOST cost-effectively?

A. Order an AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to migrate the database with replication of ongoing changes. Send the Snowball Edge device to AWS to finish the migration and continue the ongoing replication.
B. Order an AWS Snowmobile vehicle. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to migrate the database with ongoing changes. Send the Snowmobile vehicle back to AWS to finish the migration and continue the ongoing replication.
C. Order an AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized with GPU device. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to migrate the database with ongoing changes. Send the Snowball device to AWS to finish the migration and continue the ongoing replication
D. Order a 1 GB dedicated AWS Direct Connect connection to establish a connection with the data center. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to migrate the database with replication of ongoing changes.

But I didn't understand why we are using a schema conversion tool, because AWS have already a managed service engine for MySQL Db, (RDS for MySQL or Aurora for my SQL is on the table )

Direct Connect takes at least 1 month to setup - D is invalid AWS Snowmobile is used for transferring large amounts of data (petabytes) from remote locations where establishing a connection to the cloud is impossible - B is invalid AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized provides higher vCPU performance and lower storage as compared to Snowball storage optimized. As our need is solely data transfer, high vCPU performance is not required but high storage is - C is invalid

To calculate the time it would take to transfer 20TB of data over a 1 GB dedicated AWS Direct Connect, we can use the formula: time = data size / data transfer rate Here, the data size is 20TB, which is equivalent to 20,000 GB or 20,000,000 MB. The data transfer rate is 1 GB/s. Converting the data size to MB, we get: 20,000,000 MB / 1 GB/s = 20,000 seconds Therefore, it would take approximately 20,000 seconds or 5.56 hours to transfer 20TB of data over a 1 GB dedicated AWS Direct Connect.

It takes more way more than 2 weeks to setup Direct Connect. Therefore, D is not valid since we have to do the transfer within 2 weeks.

Selected Answer: A

I agreed with A. Why not D.? When you initiate the process by requesting an AWS Direct Connect connection, it typically starts with the AWS Direct Connect provider. This provider may need to coordinate with AWS to allocate the necessary resources. This initial setup phase can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Couple of weeks? No Good

When you create a Snowball job in the AWS console, it will estimate the delivery date based on your location. Being near a facility shows 1-2 day estimated delivery. For extremely urgent requests, you can contact AWS Support and inquire about expedited Snowball delivery. If inventory is available, they may be able to ship same day or next day.

Keyword "20 TB", choose "AWS Snowball", there are A or C. C has word "GPU" what is not related, therefore choose A.

Selected Answer: D

AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device is used for large-scale data transfers, but the lead time for delivery, data transfer, and return shipping would likely exceed the 2-week time frame. Also, ongoing database changes wouldn't be replicated while the device is in transit.
