Amazon Exam SAA-C03 Topic 2 Question 40 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAA-C03 exam

Question #: 40
Topic #: 2

A company uses NFS to store large video files in on-premises network attached storage. Each video file ranges in size from 1MB to 500 GB. The total storage is 70 TB and is no longer growing. The company decides to migrate the video files to Amazon S3. The company must migrate the video files as soon as possible while using the least possible network bandwidth.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

ACreate an S3 bucket Create an IAM role that has permissions to write to the S3 bucket. Use the AWS CLI to copy all files locally to the S3 bucket.

BCreate an AWS Snowball Edge job. Receive a Snowball Edge device on premises. Use the Snowball Edge client to transfer data to the device. Return the device so that AWS can import the data into Amazon S3.

CDeploy an S3 File Gateway on premises. Create a public service endpoint to connect to the S3 File Gateway Create an S3 bucket Create a new NFS file share on the S3 File Gateway Point the new file share to the S3 bucket. Transfer the data from the existing NFS file share to the S3 File Gateway.

DSet up an AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises network and AWS. Deploy an S3 File Gateway on premises. Create a public virtual interlace (VIF) to connect to the S3 File Gateway. Create an S3 bucket. Create a new NFS file share on the S3 File Gateway. Point the new file share to the S3 bucket. Transfer the data from the existing NFS file share to the S3 File Gateway.

Suggested Answer: C

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that delivers AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any on-premises or edge location for a consistent hybrid experience. AWS Outposts supports Amazon EKS, which is a managed service that makes it easy to run Kubernetes on AWS and on-premises. By installing an AWS Outposts rack in the company's data center, the company can run containers in a Kubernetes environment using Amazon EKS and other AWS managed services, while keeping the data locally in the company's data center and meeting the compliance requirements. AWS Outposts also provides a seamless connection to the local AWS Region for access to a broad range of AWS services.

Option A is not a valid solution because AWS Local Zones are not deployed in the company's data center, but in large metropolitan areas closer to end users. AWS Local Zones are owned, managed, and operated by AWS, and they provide low-latency access to the public internet and the local AWS Region. Option B is not a valid solution because AWS Snowmobile is a service that transports exabytes of data to AWS using a 45-foot long ruggedized shipping container pulled by a semi-trailer truck. AWS Snowmobile is not designed for running containers or AWS managed services on-premises, but for large-scale data migration. Option D is not a valid solution because AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized is a device that provides 80 TB of HDD or 210 TB of NVMe storage capacity for data transfer and edge computing. AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized does not support Amazon EKS or other AWS managed services, and it is not suitable for running containers in a Kubernetes environment.

Wait, so I can't just use my neighbor's WiFi to transfer all this data? Dang, there goes my brilliant plan!

User 1: You can use AWS Snowball to transfer the data to Amazon S3.

Hmm, the Snowball Edge option sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if it's the most efficient for a migration this size. I wonder if the S3 File Gateway might be the way to go.

The S3 File Gateway might be a better choice for efficiency in this case.

I think the Snowball Edge option could work well for this migration.

I think option B is the best solution. Using AWS Snowball Edge will help us transfer the large video files to Amazon S3 without consuming too much network bandwidth.
