A company plans to use an Amazon Snowball Edge device to transfer files to the AWS Cloud. Which activities related to a Snowball Edge device are available to the company at no cost?
A.
Use of the Snowball Edge appliance for a 10-day period
B.
The transfer of data out of Amazon S3 and to the Snowball Edge appliance
C.
The transfer of data from the Snowball Edge appliance into Amazon S3
D.
Daily use of the Snowball Edge appliance after 10 days
C is the Correct Option
I’ve tried a few mock test platforms, but SkillCertExams stood out. Their content is top-notch and very similar to what you see on the actual exam.
With AWS Snowball, you pay only for your use of the device and for data transferred out of AWS. There are two ways to pay for AWS Snowball: on-demand and committed upfront pricing.

When a company requests a Snowball Edge device from AWS, the first 10 days of usage are included at no additional cost. This includes the time the device is in transit and at the customer site. AWS does not charge for the first 10 days of on-site usage — beyond that, daily charges apply.
Topic 1, Question 1 of the AWS CLF-C02 exam discusses basic cloud concepts like scalability, elasticity, and AWS core services. Answer: Scalability. see more details : https://dub.sh/cm9Mmav
AWS provides the first 10 days of Snowball Edge device usage at no cost. This includes the time it takes to ship the device to the customer, load data, and ship it back to AWS. However, charges apply if the device is kept for longer than 10 days.
AWS includes the first 10 days of device usage at no cost as part of the Snowball service.
If you keep the device longer than 10 days, then additional daily charges apply.
While transferring data into Amazon S3 (option C) is also free, A directly addresses the free usage of the device itself, which is the core of the question about "activities available at no cost."
Why is A considered a better primary answer?
The question asks:
"Which activities related to the Snowball Edge device are available at no cost?"
(Notice: It says "activities related to the device," not just "data movement".)
A (using the device for 10 days) is directly about the device itself, not about what happens after you upload data.
AWS even clearly states that the first 10 days of device usage are free — it's the default free benefit tied to the hardware you're renting.
