AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 265
A team of researchers is going to collect data at remote locations around the world. Many locations do not have internet connectivity. The team needs to capture the data in the field, and transfer it to the AWS Cloud later.
Which AWS service will support these requirements?
Answer options
- A. AWS Outposts
- B. AWS Transfer Family
- C. AWS Snow Family
- D. AWS Migration Hub
Correct answer: C
Explanation
AWS Snow Family devices are specifically designed for secure data collection and processing in edge locations with limited or no internet connectivity, allowing data to be shipped physically to AWS. AWS Outposts requires a continuous connection to AWS, while AWS Transfer Family is used for transferring files over internet protocols like SFTP. AWS Migration Hub is a service to track the progress of application migrations to AWS and does not provide physical data collection capabilities.
