Q15 — AWS SAA-C03 Ch.3

Question 15 of 65 | ← Chapter 3

Q145. 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?

• A. Create an S3 bucket. Create an IAM role that has permissions to write to the S3 bucket. Use the AWS CLl to copy all files locally to the S3 bucket.
• B. Create an AWS Snowball Edge job. Receive a Snowball Edge device on premise. Use the Snowball Edge client to transfer data to the device. Return the device so that AWS can import the data into Amazon S3. ✓
• C. Deploy 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 S3File Gateway.
• D. Setup an AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises network and AWS. Deploy an S3 File Gateway on premises. Create a public virtual interface (VlF) 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.

Correct Answer: B. Create an AWS Snowball Edge job. Receive a Snowball Edge device on premise. Use the Snowball Edge client to transfer data to the device. Return the device so that AWS can import the data into Amazon S3.

Explanation

Option B is the best solution to meet the requirements of migrating large video files to Amazon S3 while using the least possible network bandwidth. Explanation: AWS Snowball Edge is a petabyte-scale data transport solution that uses secure appliances to transfer large amounts of data into and out of AWS. In this scenario, the company can use an AWS Snowball Edge device to transfer the video files from on-premises storage to the device. The device can then be shipped back to AWS for data ingestion into S3. This solution minimizes network bandwidth usage and provides a convenient way to transfer large amounts of data in a secure and efficient manner. Option A is not a suitable solution as copying all the files locally to the S3 bucket will use a lot of network bandwidth and may take a long time to complete. Option C and D involve deploying an S3 File Gateway on premises, which can be complex and time-consuming. These options do not minimize network bandwidth usage as the data will still need to be transferred over the network to the S3 File Gateway before being uploaded to S3.
