AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 293

A company wants to migrate petabytes of data from its on-premises data center to AWS. The company does not want to use an internet connection to perform the migration.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS DataSync
• B. Amazon Connect
• C. AWS Snowmobile
• D. AWS Direct Connect

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Snowmobile is an exabyte-scale data transfer service used to physically move extremely large datasets of up to 100 PB per ruggedized shipping container, completely bypassing the internet. AWS DataSync and AWS Direct Connect require network-based transfers, while Amazon Connect is a cloud contact center service unrelated to data migration.
