AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 208

A company needs to transfer 60 TB of data to the AWS Cloud in a secure manner.

Which of the following should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Snowball Edge device
• B. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
• C. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
• D. Amazon S3

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The AWS Snowball Edge device is designed specifically for transferring large amounts of data securely and efficiently. In contrast, Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) and Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) are primarily used for storage solutions within the cloud rather than for bulk data transfer, while Amazon S3 is more suited for online storage but does not address the physical transport of large datasets.
