Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 43 discussion

A: VPN also goes through the internet and uses the bandwidth C: daily Snowball transfer is not really a long-term solution when it comes to cost and efficiency D: S3 limits don't change anything here So the answer is B

Option B (correct). Establish a new AWS Direct Connect connection and direct backup traffic through this new connection. AWS Direct Connect is a network service that allows you to establish a dedicated network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS. This connection bypasses the public Internet and can provide more reliable, lower-latency communication between your on-premises application and Amazon S3. By directing backup traffic through the AWS Direct Connect connection, you can minimize the impact on your internet bandwidth and ensure timely backups to S3.

The answer is B

Direct Connect is the only working solution. A: VPN uses same bandwidth so doesn't solve anything C: Snowball devices are physical devices requiring physical shipment so wrong solution D: There are no S3 service limitations in the account related to this problem

Option B. AWS Direct Connect link your on-premise instance with VPC, and all traffic will bypass your Internet Service Provider. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html

Resolve Internet connection problem - Direct Connect

AWS Direct Connect is a network service that allows you to establish a dedicated network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS. This connection bypasses the public Internet and can provide more reliable, lower-latency communication between your on-premises application and Amazon S3. By directing backup traffic through the AWS Direct Connect connection, you can minimize the impact on your internet bandwidth and ensure timely backups to S3.

I picked option B, because AWS Direct Connect offers a dedicated, secure, high-performance connection that may circumvent bandwidth restrictions and minimize the impact on internet access, AWS Direct Connect is the ideal choice for backing up data to Amazon S3. Some solutions are not as good because they are not as scalable, reliable, or secure as VPN connections, Snowball devices, or reducing S3 service constraints.

Key: time sensitive. So snowball does not apply here.

Right option is C,, In AWS Direct Connect, the network is not fluctuating and provides a consistent experience, while in AWS VPN the VPN is connected with shared and public networks, so the bandwidth and latency fluctuate. Hence direct connect is better choice than virtual connect.

Option B Correct. Reason is that, Direct connect will not use internet. But it will take good amount of time to establish the connectivity.

AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated network connection between your on-premises network and AWS. This provides a private, high-bandwidth connection that is not subject to the same internet bandwidth limitations as traditional internet connections. This will allow for timely backups to Amazon S3 without impacting internet connectivity for internal users.

AWS Direct Connect cloud service is the shortest path to your AWS resources. While in transit, your network traffic remains on the AWS global network and never touches the public internet. This reduces the chance of hitting bottlenecks or unexpected increases in latency. https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/#:~:text=The-,AWS%20Direct%20Connect,-cloud%20service%20is

Option B is the right answer.

This is long-term and provides solution for internet speed as well

AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection between on-premises and AWS, bypassing public internet. By establishing this connection for backup traffic, company can ensure fast and reliable transfers between their on-premises and S3 without impacting their internet connectivity for internal users. This provides a dedicated and high-speed connection that is well-suited for data transfers and minimizes impact on internet bandwidth limitations. While option A can provide a secure connection, it still utilizes internet bandwidth for data transfer and may not effectively address issue of limited bandwidth. While option C can work for occasional large data transfers, it may not be suitable for frequent backups and can introduce additional operational overhead. D, submitting a support ticket to request removal of S3 service limits, does not address issue of internet bandwidth limitations and is not a relevant solution for given requirements.

Option B meets these requirements.
