[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Questions]

A company needs to migrate a large amount of data from an on-premises storage area network (SAN) to Amazon S3. The SAN currently has 200 TB of data and is receiving an additional 20 TB of data each month. The company has a 500 Mbps connection to the internet.

  • B. Use an AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device to migrate the initial 200 TB of data to Amazon S3. Sync any changes data by using AWS DataSync until the SAN is decommissioned.
  • C. Set up an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection. Use a file syncing application to sync the data to Amazon S3 through a private S3 endpoint. Sync any changed data the same way until the SAN is decommissioned.
  • D. Set up a 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connection connection. Migrate the initial 200 TB of data to Amazon S3 by using a file syncing application. Sync any changed data the same way until the SAN is decommissioned.

I really dont like this question... I believe the answer is B. However, if the company will continue to generate 20TB of data each month. Then the best option going forward would be to establish a Direct connect link. But the issue with that is from experience establishing a Direct connect can take much longer than a month..

Answer (IMO): D According to this calculator 200 TB of data can be transfered in 2 days and 1 hour https://expedient.com/knowledgebase/tools-and-calculators/file-transfer-time-calculator/ Adding the two day volume increment will take another 10 hours to upload via direct connect. Meaning that using direct connect transfer will take at most 3 days. This is faster than using snowball which would take approximately 5 workdays. In addition option B mention only one snowball instance that has 80 TB of maximum capacity.

D is faster, snowball will take several days to ship, even with 500mbs, it will take less than 5 days to copy 200tb.

The question says least amount of time.. I think it is B. Direct Connect will take more than 1 month so D is out of scope.
