Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A company is planning a one-time migration of an on-premises MySQL database to Amazon Aurora MySQL in the us-east-1 Region. The company's current internet connection has limited bandwidth. The on-premises MySQL database is 60 TB in size. The company estimates that it will take a month to transfer the data to AWS over the current internet connection. The company needs a migration solution that will migrate the database more quickly.

Which solution will migrate the database in the LEAST amount of time?

  • A. Request a 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises data center and AWS. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the on-premises MySQL database to Aurora MySQL.
  • B. Use AWS DataSync with the current internet connection to accelerate the data transfer between the on-premises data center and AWS. Use AWS Application Migration Service to migrate the on-premises MySQL database to Aurora MySQL.
  • C. Order an AWS Snowball Edge device. Load the data into an Amazon S3 bucket by using the S3 interface. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the data from Amazon S3 to Aurora MySQL.
  • D. Order an AWS Snowball device. Load the data into an Amazon S3 bucket by using the S3 Adapter for Snowball. Use AWS Application Migration Service to migrate the data from Amazon S3 to Aurora MySQL.

Selected Answer: C
Why Not D: 1- C=SnowBall Edge, D=SnowBall Device. The basic difference between Snowball and Snowball Edge is the capacity they provide. Snowball provides a total of 50 TB or 80 TB, out of which 42 TB or 72 TB is available, while Amazon Snowball Edge provides 100 TB, out of which 83 TB is available. 2- C=AWS Database Migration . D=Application Migration Service, Application Migration Service simplifies, expedites, and reduces the cost of migrating and modernizing applications. Not for Database

AWS Snowball and Snowball Edge refers the same thing. From the Snowball FAQ "AWS Snowball is a service that provides secure, rugged devices, so you can bring AWS computing and storage capabilities to your edge environments, and transfer data into and out of AWS. Those rugged devices are commonly referred to as AWS Snowball or AWS Snowball Edge devices. ". Between C and D, it's C using Snowball edge with AWS DMS.

Selected Answer: C
First of all a snowball solution is required for one time migration will focus in C & D. Now since we are looking o migrate a database, DMS is needed also Snowball edge can accommodate the 60TB of data as the capacity limit it 80TB. D is wrong by mentioning Application Migration service to migrate a database. So correct answer is C). Order an AWS Snowball Edge device. Load the data into an Amazon S3 bucket by using the S3 interface. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the data from Amazon S3 to Aurora MySQL.

I agree with option C. Option D does not seem ideal because mentions Application Migration Service, also the snowball is more required for petabyte scale data migration while edge seems to be a better fit.
