It's Just had this question on my exam, and it’s all about understanding the cost-related activities with an Amazon Snowball Edge device. The correct answer revolves around the 10-day free use period (A) and other key processes that don’t incur charges, like transferring data from the appliance into S3 (C). I remember this being clearly explained in the examforusre.com guide, which detailed how AWS billing works for Snowball devices. The pro version broke down these activities step by step, making it much easier to grasp. Pro tip: Watch out for hints like “no-cost activities” to quickly eliminate irrelevant options!
The exam was pretty easy, and yes multiple questions from here were on the exam (those questions being towards 500-700). You can view those questions by searching them on Google like I did.
Although there is an explanation on the official website about small files occurring in payment, that charge is for the S3 service and not for the Snowball device.
As for alternative A, the first 10 days' price is included in the on-demand value, so technically, you are paying for those days.
Option a) is more likely to be correct than option c)
C):
"Data transfer IN to Amazon S3 is $0.00 per GB (except for small files as explained below)."

A)
"On-demand pricing includes a service fee per job, which includes a specific number of free days of device use, a per-day fee for every additional day you use the device before sending it back to AWS, and a shipping fee to return the device to AWS. The service fee and per-day fee may vary by AWS Region and depends on which ..."
