Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 583 discussion

A company has 5 PB of archived data on physical tapes. The company needs to preserve the data on the tapes for another 10 years for compliance purposes. The company wants to migrate to AWS in the next 6 months. The data center that stores the tapes has a 1 Gbps uplink internet connectivity.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

  • A. Read the data from the tapes on premises. Stage the data in a local NFS storage. Use AWS DataSync to migrate the data to Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval.
  • B. Use an on-premises backup application to read the data from the tapes and to write directly to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
  • C. Order multiple AWS Snowball devices that have Tape Gateway. Copy the physical tapes to virtual tapes in Snowball. Ship the Snowball devices to AWS. Create a lifecycle policy to move the tapes to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
  • D. Configure an on-premises Tape Gateway. Create virtual tapes in the AWS Cloud. Use backup software to copy the physical tape to the virtual tape.

5PB over 1GB connection will take approximately 15 months so anything with "transfer" is invalid. ABD are not practical. C: Just order snowball

Though we'll need more than 60 Snowball devices, C is the only option that works. The internet uplink could transport less than 2 PB in 6 months (otherwise, say with a 10 Gb uplink, D would work).

5 PB data is too huge for using 1Gbps uplink. With this uplink, it takes more than 1 year to migrate this data.

Answer: D for most cost effective. If you are looking for a cost-effective, durable, long-term, offsite alternative for data archiving, deploy a Tape Gateway. With its virtual tape library (VTL) interface, you can use your existing tape-based backup software infrastructure to store data on virtual tape cartridges that you create - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/tgw/WhatIsStorageGateway.html

Selected Answer: A
The most cost-effective solution to meet the requirements is to read the data from the tapes on premises. Stage the data in a local NFS storage. Use AWS DataSync to migrate the data to Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval. This solution is the most cost-effective because it uses the least amount of bandwidth. AWS DataSync is a service that transfers data between on-premises storage and Amazon S3. It uses a variety of techniques to optimize the transfer speed and reduce c

Selected Answer: C
Option C is likely the most cost-effective solution given the large data size and limited internet bandwidth. The physical data transfer and integration with the existing tape infrastructure provides efficiency benefits that can optimize the cost.

My rational: question is about which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively, not MOST time or effectively, then, my response is D (using Tape Gateways)
