Question 37 of 100 | ← Chapter 11

Q737. A company stores its data on premises. The amount of data is growing beyond the company's available capacity.The company wants to migrate its data from the on-premises location to an Amazon S3 bucket. The company needs a solution that will automatically validate the integrity of the data after the transfer.Which solution will meet these requirements?

Correct Answer: B. Deploy an AWS DataSync agent on premises. Configure the DataSync agent to perform the online data transfer to an S3 bucket.

Explanation

To meet the requirements of automatically validating the integrity of the data after the transfer from an on-premises location to an Amazon S3 bucket, the solution that would best fit these requirements is:B. Deploy an AWS DataSync agent on premises. Configure the DataSync agent to perform the online data transfer to an S3 bucket.Option B, deploying an AWS DataSync agent on premises and configuring it to perform the online data transfer to an S3 bucket, would meet the requirements of automatically validating the integrity of the data after the transfer.AWS DataSync is a data transfer service that simplifies and automates moving data between on-premises storage systems and AWS storage services such as Amazon S3. It provides built-in validation mechanisms to ensure data integrity during the transfer process.By deploying the DataSync agent on premises, you can configure it to connect to the on-premises storage system and transfer the data to an Amazon S3 bucket. DataSync automatically verifies the data integrity during the transfer by comparing the source and destination files using checksums. This ensures that the data is accurately transferred and no corruption or data loss occurs during the process.Option A, ordering an AWS Snowball Edge device and configuring it to perform the online data transfer to an S3 bucket, is not the most suitable solution for automatically validating the integrity of the data after the transfer. While Snowball Edge devices are designed for large-scale data transfer, they do not provide built-in mechanisms for automated data integrity validation.Option C, creating an Amazon S3 File Gateway on premises and configuring it to perform the online data transfer to an S3 bucket, does not specifically address the requirement of automatically validating the integrity of the data after the transfer. While S3 File Gateway can facilitate the transfer of data from on-premises to S3, additional mechanisms would be needed to ensure data integrity validation.Option D, configuring an accelerator in Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration on premises and configuring it to perform the online data transfer to an S3 bucket, does not directly address the requirement of automatically validating the integrity of the data after the transfer. S3 Transfer Acceleration is designed to accelerate data transfers to S3, but it does not provide specific built-in mechanisms for data integrity validation.Therefore, the most suitable solution that meets the requirements is B: Deploy an AWS DataSync agent on premises and configure it to perform the online data transfer to an S3 bucket. This solution ensures the automatic validation of the data integrity during the transfer process.
