AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 128

A company must migrate 20 TB of data from a data center to the AWS Cloud within 30 days. The company's network bandwidth is limited to 15 Mbps and cannot exceed 70% utilization. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Use AWS Snowball.
• B. Use AWS DataSync.
• C. Use a secure VPN connection.
• D. Use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Snowball is the best choice for transferring large amounts of data quickly and securely when network bandwidth is limited. It allows for offline data transfer, which is ideal given the constraints of the company's network. The other options, such as AWS DataSync and S3 Transfer Acceleration, would not meet the timeline due to bandwidth limitations, and a secure VPN connection would be too slow for such a large volume of data.
