Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 676 discussion

came up in my exam taken 3 June 2021 i picked D

D To upload existing data to Amazon S3 Glacier (S3 Glacier), you might consider using one of the AWS Snowball device types to import data into Amazon S3, and then move it to the S3 Glacier storage class for archival using lifecycle rules.

Perfect D

D is correct as you can't directly put objects into Glacier. This has to be from S3 standard.

Answer is D As the company’s internet link is low-bandwidth uploading directly to Amazon S3 (ready for transition to Glacier) would saturate the link. The best alternative is to use AWS Snowball appliances. The Snowball edge appliance can hold up to 80 TB of data so 7 devices would be required to migrate 500 TB of data. Snowball moves data into AWS using a hardware device and the data is then copied into an Amazon S3 bucket of your choice. From there, lifecycle policies can transition the S3 objects to Amazon S3 Glacier.

I think it's D, I think it's important to remember the difference between a Bucket Policy and a Lifecycle Policy

Correct Answer is D. Refer "Using the AWS Snowball Service" https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/uploading-an-archive.html section To upload existing data to Amazon S3 Glacier (S3 Glacier), you might consider using one of the AWS Snowball device types to import data into Amazon S3, and then move it to the S3 Glacier storage class for archival using lifecycle rules. When you transition Amazon S3 objects to the S3 Glacier storage class, Amazon S3 internally uses S3 Glacier for durable storage at lower cost. Although the objects are stored in S3 Glacier, they remain Amazon S3 objects that you manage in Amazon S3, and you cannot access them directly through S3 Glacier.

The upload must go into S3 before moving to S3 Glacier with a Lifecycle policy.

D looks correct here. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/uploading-an-archive.html

Answer D - Nothing else makes sense

D is correct here

D https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/uploading-an-archive.html. Using the AWS Snowball Service AWS Snowball accelerates moving large amounts of data into and out of AWS using Amazon-owned devices, bypassing the internet. For more information, see AWS Snowball detail page.

Can the snowball insert s3 glacier directly ?
