Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 6 discussion

A company uses NFS to store large video files in on-premises network attached storage. Each video file ranges in size from 1 MB to 500 GB. The total storage is 70 TB and is no longer growing. The company decides to migrate the video files to Amazon S3. The company must migrate the video files as soon as possible while using the least possible network bandwidth.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Create an S3 bucket. Create an IAM role that has permissions to write to the S3 bucket. Use the AWS CLI to copy all files locally to the S3 bucket.
  • B. Create an AWS Snowball Edge job. Receive a Snowball Edge device on premises. Use the Snowball Edge client to transfer data to the device. Return the device so that AWS can import the data into Amazon S3.
  • C. Deploy an S3 File Gateway on premises. Create a public service endpoint to connect to the S3 File Gateway. Create an S3 bucket. Create a new NFS file share on the S3 File Gateway. Point the new file share to the S3 bucket. Transfer the data from the existing NFS file share to the S3 File Gateway.
  • D. Set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises network and AWS. Deploy an S3 File Gateway on premises. Create a public virtual interface (VIF) to connect to the S3 File Gateway. Create an S3 bucket. Create a new NFS file share on the S3 File Gateway. Point the new file share to the S3 bucket. Transfer the data from the existing NFS file share to the S3 File Gateway.

Selected Answer: B
Let's analyse this: B. On a Snowball Edge device you can copy files with a speed of up to 100Gbps. 70TB will take around 5600 seconds, so very quickly, less than 2 hours. The downside is that it'll take between 4-6 working days to receive the device and then another 2-3 working days to send it back and for AWS to move the data onto S3 once it reaches them. Total time: 6-9 working days. Bandwidth used: 0. C. File Gateway uses the Internet, so maximum speed will be at most 1Gbps, so it'll take a minimum of 6.5 days and you use 70TB of Internet bandwidth. D. You can achieve speeds of up to 10Gbps with Direct Connect. Total time 15.5 hours and you will use 70TB of bandwidth. However, what's interesting is that the question does not specific what type of bandwidth? Direct Connect does not use your Internet bandwidth, as you will have a dedicate peer to peer connectivity between your on-prem and the AWS Cloud, so technically, you're not using your "public" bandwidth. The requirements are a bit too vague but I think that B is the most appropriate answer, although D might also be correct if the bandwidth usage refers strictly to your public connectivity.

B is the correct answer because the migration needs to be completed as soon as possible with limited bandwidth

and it says, "The total storage is 70 TB and is no longer growing". Thats why it should be B.

I will add that the question does not specify if the company already has DA in place or not. If they don't have DA in place, it will take a long time (weeks) for DA connectivity to be setup. Another point for B here, as Snowball is much quicker from this perspective.

It does, because option D says "SET UP a DirectConnect connection", not "use an existing DirectConnect connection".

B: Create an AWS Snowball Edge job. Receive a Snowball Edge device on premises. Use the Snowball Edge client to transfer data to the device. Return the device so that AWS can import the data into Amazon S3.** This solution will meet the requirements because it allows for the rapid transfer of large amounts of data without consuming significant network bandwidth. AWS Snowball Edge is designed for such large-scale data migrations, offering high transfer speeds by physically transporting the data storage device to AWS, where the data is then uploaded to Amazon S3.

1. point to use least possible network bandwidth where snowball is a physical device so no use of internet. 2. The data is in TB not GB, so better to use snowball

Option B as the question mentions least possible network bandwidth though receiving the snowball device and sending the data will take some time. Option D will be fastest but 70Tb bandwidth will be used.

KWs: As soon as possible, Using least possible bandwidth. 70TB is quite a bit so bandwidth is a priiority. Off the bat, I would go with a Snowball device mainly due to the sheer size of data. So snowball edge takes this. DX is good with speeds upto 100Mbps, but loses on both time to setup and bandwidth. S3 options lose on bandwidth but are immediate to setup.

you have to use snowball in this case because you have as requirement to migrate fast and 70TB of data, so definitely B.

Selected Answer: B
Here are the key hints to go for option B. 1. The company wants to migrate the data as early as possible 2. Don't want to use the network bandwidth 3. Side of the data is 70 TB. AWS suggest to use Snowball Edge Device if the data is more than 10TB.
