Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 43 discussion

A: VPN also goes through the internet and uses the bandwidth C: daily Snowball transfer is not really a long-term solution when it comes to cost and efficiency D: S3 limits don't change anything here So the answer is B

Option B (correct). Establish a new AWS Direct Connect connection and direct backup traffic through this new connection. AWS Direct Connect is a network service that allows you to establish a dedicated network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS. This connection bypasses the public Internet and can provide more reliable, lower-latency communication between your on-premises application and Amazon S3. By directing backup traffic through the AWS Direct Connect connection, you can minimize the impact on your internet bandwidth and ensure timely backups to S3.

Implement AWS Direct Connect to create a dedicated network path for timely, large-scale backups to S3 — ensuring internal users retain sufficient bandwidth while keeping backup operations fast and reliable.

This one is clear from the given choices. There is no specification of "immediate" need, which means the company can afford to wait for that one month time period required to set up AWS Direct connect.

Establishing an AWS Direct Connect connection provides a dedicated, high-bandwidth, low-latency link between the on-premises environment and AWS. This solution effectively addresses the problem by: Reducing Internet Bandwidth Usage: By routing backup traffic through the Direct Connect connection, internal users' internet bandwidth is preserved for other activities. Ensuring Timely Backups: Direct Connect provides a consistent and reliable connection with speeds ranging from 50 Mbps to 100 Gbps, ensuring that large volumes of time-sensitive data can be backed up efficiently. Long-Term Scalability: This solution supports long-term data transfer needs as the application's data volume grows

Ans. B For long term solution, using AWS Direct Connect for backup traffic will have its own bandwidth for backing-up data and will not share the bandwidth used by the users.

The answer is B

Direct Connect is the only working solution. A: VPN uses same bandwidth so doesn't solve anything C: Snowball devices are physical devices requiring physical shipment so wrong solution D: There are no S3 service limitations in the account related to this problem

Option B. AWS Direct Connect link your on-premise instance with VPC, and all traffic will bypass your Internet Service Provider. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html

AWS Direct Connect is a network service that allows you to establish a dedicated network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS. This connection bypasses the public Internet and can provide more reliable, lower-latency communication between your on-premises application and Amazon S3. By directing backup traffic through the AWS Direct Connect connection, you can minimize the impact on your internet bandwidth and ensure timely backups to S3.

I picked option B, because AWS Direct Connect offers a dedicated, secure, high-performance connection that may circumvent bandwidth restrictions and minimize the impact on internet access, AWS Direct Connect is the ideal choice for backing up data to Amazon S3. Some solutions are not as good because they are not as scalable, reliable, or secure as VPN connections, Snowball devices, or reducing S3 service constraints.

Key: time sensitive. So snowball does not apply here.

Right option is C,, In AWS Direct Connect, the network is not fluctuating and provides a consistent experience, while in AWS VPN the VPN is connected with shared and public networks, so the bandwidth and latency fluctuate. Hence direct connect is better choice than virtual connect.

Option B Correct. Reason is that, Direct connect will not use internet. But it will take good amount of time to establish the connectivity.

AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated network connection between your on-premises network and AWS. This provides a private, high-bandwidth connection that is not subject to the same internet bandwidth limitations as traditional internet connections. This will allow for timely backups to Amazon S3 without impacting internet connectivity for internal users.

AWS Direct Connect cloud service is the shortest path to your AWS resources. While in transit, your network traffic remains on the AWS global network and never touches the public internet. This reduces the chance of hitting bottlenecks or unexpected increases in latency. https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/#:~:text=The-,AWS%20Direct%20Connect,-cloud%20service%20is

Option B is the right answer.
