Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 topic 1 question 151 discussion

AWS Snowmobile is the appropriate choice for migrating 50 petabytes of file storage data to AWS with the least possible operational overhead. Snowmobile is a data transfer service that physically transports massive amounts of data to the AWS Cloud. It is a secure and efficient solution for extremely large data transfers.

A. AWS Snowmobile is specifically designed for transferring large-scale data (up to 100 petabytes) from on-premises data centers to AWS. It is a physical data transport solution where a secure truck (essentially a data center on wheels) is used to transport massive amounts of data. This method minimizes operational overhead and is highly efficient for very large data migrations like the 50 petabytes mentioned. Other Options: B. AWS Snowball Edge: While AWS Snowball Edge is suitable for transferring large amounts of data (up to tens of terabytes per device), it would require hundreds of devices to transfer 50 petabytes, resulting in significantly more operational overhead compared to Snowmobile.

Snow edge is in TBs where as snow mobile is in PB

Snowball edge, 80ptb capacity

Snowmobile

Snow mobile is for big data transfers like 100 ptb up not 50 ptb, Therefore snowball edge is the closest with 80 ptb up capacity . pleas check snow family capacities

A is correct
