Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner topic 1 question 193 discussion

The answer is C because Data sync is a secure, online service that automates and accelerates moving data between on premises and AWS Storage services. whereas Direct connect is a network service that provides an alternative to using the Internet to utilize AWS cloud services. In this scenario the company wants to transfer the file for processing not storing C is the correct answer.

Should be C. Direct Connect. You are correct that AWS DataSync is a data transfer service that can be used to transfer large amounts of data to and from AWS. It can also be used to transfer data securely over the internet using encryption. However, the question specifies that the transfers must occur daily over a dedicated connection. AWS DataSync does not provide a dedicated connection for data transfer. Instead, it uses the internet to transfer data. While the internet is a reliable and secure way to transfer data, it is not as fast and secure as a dedicated connection. AWS Direct Connect, on the other hand, provides a dedicated private connection between an on-premises data center and AWS. With AWS Direct Connect, you can establish a private, high-speed, and secure connection to AWS, which is ideal for transferring large volumes of data securely and quickly.

AWS DataSync is specifically designed to transfer large datasets securely and efficiently between on-premises data centers and AWS. It automates the transfer of data. it can use direct connect as a underlying infrastructure.

C. AWS Direct Connect AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection from the company's on-premises data center to AWS, ensuring secure and high-speed data transfer. This service is suitable for transferring large volumes of data reliably and consistently, meeting the requirement for daily transfers over a dedicated connection.

B is the right answer. Aws DataSync AWS DataSync: Simplify and accelerate secure data migrations the purpose of AWS Direct Connect is to create a dedicated network connection to AWS! not data transfer!

Here the key word in question is "dedicated connection." So, answer C. Dedicated connection is only possible with AWS DIRECT CONNECT.

Why Not "B"? https://aws.amazon.com/datasync/faqs/#:~:text=A%3A%20AWS%20DataSync%20is%20an,providers%2C%20and%20AWS%20Storage%20services. >> AWS DataSync is a secure, online service that automates and accelerates moving data between on premises and AWS Storage services.

C. AWS Direct Connect

Answer is C. AWS Direct Connect https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/

AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection from the company's on-premises environment to AWS. It establishes a private and secure connection that bypasses the public internet, ensuring reliable and low-latency data transfers. With AWS Direct Connect, the company can transfer data directly from its data center to AWS without going through the internet, resulting in improved security and data transfer performance.

found this topic: Using AWS DataSync with VPC endpoint creates private link but that is not an default offering : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/datasync-in-vpc.html So, default private network connectivity is through DirectConnect

dedicated connection is the key word. DataSync has two ways to copy data from on-premises to AWS, one is through AWS Direct Connect (dedicated), and the other is Internet. Therefore you should not answer DataSync since it might not be dedicated.

To securely transfer large sets of critical data from an on-premises data center to AWS over a dedicated connection on a daily basis, the company should use AWS Direct Connect. AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated network connection service that provides a high-speed, dedicated network connection between on-premises infrastructure and AWS. It is ideal for transferring large amounts of data frequently, which requires a dedicated, private connection to maintain the security and reliability of the data transfer.

another vague question. from https://aws.amazon.com/datasync/faqs/ Q: How do I use AWS DataSync for recurring transfers between on-premises and AWS for ongoing workflows? A: You can use AWS DataSync for ongoing transfers from on-premises systems into or out of AWS for processing. but I can't find any supporting data about DataSync actually needing a dedicated link. I do see this: Q: Can I use AWS DataSync with AWS Direct Connect? A: You can use AWS DataSync with your Direct Connect link to access public service endpoints so neither are fully correct or incorrect based on the question as stated. I would hope any actual cert ??? on the topic are not a vague. I picked C because of the word "dedicated"
