AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 80

A company has a fleet of cargo ships. The cargo ships have sensors that collect data at sea, where there is intermittent or no internet connectivity. The company needs to collect, format, and process the data at sea and move the data to AWS later.
Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, AWS Snowball Edge, as it is designed for edge computing and can collect and process data in environments with limited connectivity before transferring it to AWS. The other options, such as AWS IoT Core and AWS Storage Gateway, are more suited for real-time data processing and storage in cloud environments, which do not align with the need for data handling at sea without internet access.
