Selected Answer: B

(B) is correct. Direct Connect is "A dedicated connection [is] made through a 1-Gbps, 10-Gbps, or 100-Gbps Ethernet port dedicated to a single customer." DX uses 802.1Q VLANs providing a dedicated private network connection to AWS. At 1-Gbps, transfer takes less than 5 days; at 100-Gbps it takes less than 67 minutes. Since it's a data center & not an oil rig in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, data center should be able to get this service. (C) is incorrect "Consider Snowball Edge if you need to run computing in rugged, austere, mobile, or disconnected (or intermittently connected) environments. Also consider it for large-scale data transfers and migrations when bandwidth is not available for use of a high-speed online transfer service, such as AWS DataSync."

(A) The problem is not that DataSync deals with data (we have to 'transfer 50 TB of data'). The issue is with the VPC endpoint; it doesn't increase our bandwidth. DataSync task is capable fully utilizing 10-Gbps over a network link between your on-premises environment and AWS. (B) works between 67-minutes & 5 days. (C) Works but is NOT what I would recommend to a data center. (D) over VPN connection that is 90% utilized, takes more than 6 weeks.
