AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 268

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?

Answer options

• A. AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
• B. AWS DataSync
• C. AWS Backup
• D. AWS Snowball Edge

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Snowball Edge is designed for local data collection, processing, and offline transport to AWS, making it ideal for environments with intermittent or limited internet connectivity. Other services like AWS DataSync, AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS), and AWS Backup require a stable, active network connection to transfer data directly over the internet or AWS Direct Connect.
