Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 415 discussion

A disaster response team is using drones to collect images of recent storm damage. The response team's laptops lack the storage and compute capacity to transfer the images and process the data. While the team has Amazon EC2 instances for processing and Amazon S3 buckets for storage, network connectivity is intermittent and unreliable. The images need to be processed to evaluate the damage.
What should a solutions architect recommend?

  • A. Use AWS Snowball Edge devices to process and store the images.
  • B. Upload the images to Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) during intermittent connectivity to EC2 instances.
  • C. Configure Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to create multiple delivery streams aimed separately at the S3 buckets for storage and the EC2 instances for processing the images.
  • D. Use AWS Storage Gateway pre-installed on a hardware appliance to cache the images locally for Amazon S3 to process the images when connectivity becomes available.

GUYS ANSWER IS D : WHY use Storage Gateway and not Snowball? Though you can use Snowball here .... remember that we need a permanent solution and generally SnlowBall is a Temp device that you get on a lease ( with a promise to return ) use to transfer data (One-time data ); well there may be a requirement where you have a huge data that needs processing before upload where you can order a Snowball with Compute Optimized , use the local processing before upload ( but again - this is one time )

SGW does not have compute on its own, Snowball edge does.

It is a use case for Natural Disaster, so one time Snowball order should be enough.

Agreed it's a one-off job here so Snowball Edge fits the bill.

Plus if their computer lacks compute capacity as well as storage space, Storage Gateway is not useful here.

do you really want me to install a storage gateway at disaster prone area which i will be leaving once my collection of images is over? or should i carry a snowball and transfer my images to it and leave with it once my work is done. I will prefer to think with my brain rather than my knees and will opt for Snowball.

A is the answer for sure B is wrong for sure since "network connectivity is intermittent and unreliable" so using SQS "during intermittent connectivity " is a recipe for disaster C is wrong as again "multiple delivery streams" when "network connectivity is intermittent and unreliable" won't cut it D is wrong as you don't "pre-installed" AWS Storage Gateway

AWS Snowball Edge and AWS Storage Gateway are primarily classified as "Data Transfer" and "Data Backup" tools respectively.

Here is the correct options for this question: My answer C: A. Use two ALBs: one for on premises and one for the AWS resource. Add hosts to the target group of each ALB. Create a software router on an EC2 instance based on the URL query string. B. Use two ALBs: one for on premises and one for the AWS resource. Add hosts to each target group of each ALB. Route with Amazon Route 53 based on the URL query string. C. Use one ALB with two target groups: one for the AWS resource and one for on premises. Add hosts to each target group of the ALB. Configure listener rules based on the URL query string. D. Use one ALB with two AWS Auto Scaling groups: one for the AWS resource and one for on premises. Add hosts to each Auto Scaling group. Route with Amazon Route 53 based on the URL query string.

Given Question is Wrong. Should be A disaster response team is using drones to collect images of recent storm damage. The response team’s laptops lack the storage and compute capacity to transfer the images and process the data. While the team has Amazon EC2 instances for processing and Amazon S3 buckets for storage, network connectivity is intermittent and unreliable. The images need to be processed to evaluate the damage.

Selected Answer: A
hey are well suited for local storage and large scale-data transfer. Snowball Edge Compute Optimized devices provide 52 vCPUs, block and object storage, and an optional GPU for use cases like advanced machine learning and full motion video analysis in disconnected environments. You can use these devices for data collection, machine learning and processing, and storage in environments with intermittent connectivity (like manufacturing, industrial, and transportation) or in extremely remote locations (like military or maritime operations) before shipping them back to AWS. These devices may also be rack mounted and clustered together to build larger temporary installations.
