Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 435 discussion

A) 300 first 10 days. 150 shipping D) 750 for 2 weeks

Direct Connect takes at least 1 month to setup - D is invalid AWS Snowmobile is used for transferring large amounts of data (petabytes) from remote locations where establishing a connection to the cloud is impossible - B is invalid AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized provides higher vCPU performance and lower storage as compared to Snowball storage optimized. As our need is solely data transfer, high vCPU performance is not required but high storage is - C is invalid

But I didn't understand why we are using a schema conversion tool, because AWS have already a managed service engine for MySQL Db, (RDS for MySQL or Aurora for my SQL is on the table )

To calculate the time it would take to transfer 20TB of data over a 1 GB dedicated AWS Direct Connect, we can use the formula: time = data size / data transfer rate Here, the data size is 20TB, which is equivalent to 20,000 GB or 20,000,000 MB. The data transfer rate is 1 GB/s. Converting the data size to MB, we get: 20,000,000 MB / 1 GB/s = 20,000 seconds Therefore, it would take approximately 20,000 seconds or 5.56 hours to transfer 20TB of data over a 1 GB dedicated AWS Direct Connect.

C is wrong, GPU is not needed

Has to be A. the option for D would only work if they said they have like 6 Months plus. It would take too long to set up.

I agreed with A. Why not D.? When you initiate the process by requesting an AWS Direct Connect connection, it typically starts with the AWS Direct Connect provider. This provider may need to coordinate with AWS to allocate the necessary resources. This initial setup phase can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Couple of weeks? No Good

Keyword "20 TB", choose "AWS Snowball", there are A or C. C has word "GPU" what is not related, therefore choose A.

Answer A

D is correct

D Direct Connection will need a long time to setup plus need to deal with Network and Security changes with existing environment. Ad then plus the Data trans time... No way can be done in 2 weeks.

Overall, option D combines the reliability and cost-effectiveness of AWS Direct Connect, AWS DMS, and AWS SCT to migrate the database efficiently and minimize downtime.

D - Direct Connect takes atleast a month to setup! Requirement is for within 2 weeks.

AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device is used for large-scale data transfers, but the lead time for delivery, data transfer, and return shipping would likely exceed the 2-week time frame. Also, ongoing database changes wouldn't be replicated while the device is in transit.

How long does direct connect take to provision ?
