Discuss Amazon CLF-C02 Exam Topic 1 Question 6

A company wants an AWS service to collect and process 10 TB of data locally and transfer the data to AWS. The company has intermittent connectivity.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

AAWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)

BAWS DataSync

CAWS Backup

DAWS Snowball Edge

Suggested Answer: D

The correct answer is D. AWS Snowball Edge.

AWS Snowball Edge is a physical device that can be used to collect and process data locally and then transfer it to AWS. It is designed for situations where there is limited or intermittent network connectivity, or where bandwidth costs are high. AWS Snowball Edge can store up to 80 TB of data and has compute and storage capabilities to run applications on the device1.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is a service that helps migrate databases to AWS. It does not collect or process data locally, nor does it work offline2.

AWS DataSync is a service that helps transfer data between on-premises storage systems and AWS storage services. It does not collect or process data locally, and it requires a network connection to work3.

AWS Backup is a service that helps automate and manage backups across AWS services. It does not collect or process data locally, nor does it transfer data to AWS. It only backs up data that is already in AWS4.

Totally agree, Snowball Edge is the best choice here!

Wait, can Snowball Edge really handle 10 TB? Seems like a lot!

Definitely AWS Snowball Edge, it handles large data transfers well.

I think AWS DataSync could work too, but not sure about the connectivity.

AWS Snowball Edge is perfect for this!

I’m leaning towards AWS Snowball Edge too, but I wonder if there are any other options that could work in this scenario.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe AWS Database Migration Service is more for database migrations, not bulk data transfer like this.

Marvel 1 year ago

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about AWS DataSync being used for data transfer. However, I think it requires a more stable connection.

I think AWS Snowball Edge might be the right choice since it’s designed for transferring large amounts of data and works well with intermittent connectivity.

AWS Backup seems like it might be overkill for this use case. I think I'm going to go with AWS DataSync - it seems to hit all the key requirements.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I was thinking AWS Snowball Edge might work since it can handle local data processing, but I'm not sure if it's the best fit for the intermittent connectivity requirement.

I think AWS DataSync is the best option here. It's designed for transferring large amounts of data to AWS, and it can handle intermittent connectivity.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is an interesting option, but I'm not sure it's the right fit for this scenario. Isn't that more for migrating databases to AWS?

I think A/B testing is the way to go here. It's the most robust and reliable method for comparing the effectiveness of different CTA options.

This looks straightforward. Project Manager definitely handles scope commitments and customer timelines. C is the clear choice here.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if the PARAMETERIZATION options or the Delayed Durability setting are relevant here. I'll need to think this through carefully.

For this type of issue, I think the best strategy is to methodically work through the options and eliminate the less likely causes. Checking the logs and firewall first seems like a solid approach.

I'm not sure about this one. The question is asking about some specific principles, and I'm not totally clear on how they relate to service composition. I'll have to give it a closer look.
