Which solution will meet these requirements?
Order an AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized device. Connect the device to the local network. Configure AWS DataSync with a target bucket name, and unload the data over NFS to the device. After the experiment, return the device to AWS so that the data can be loaded into Amazon S3.
Order an AWS Snowcone device, including an Amazon Linux 2 AMI. Connect the device to the local network. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance on the device. Create a shell script that periodically downloads data from each sensor. After the experiment, return the device to AWS so that the data can be loaded as an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume.
Order an AWS Snowcone device, including an Amazon Linux 2 AMI. Connect the device to the local network. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance on the device. Install and configure an FTP server on the EC2 instance. Configure the sensors to upload data to the EC2 instance. After the experiment, return the device to AWS so that the data can be loaded into Amazon S3.
Order an AWS Snowcone device. Connect the device to the local network. Configure the device to use Amazon FSx. Configure the sensors to upload data to the device. Configure AWS DataSync on the device to synchronize the uploaded data with an Amazon S3 bucket. Return the device to AWS so that the data can be loaded as an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume.
Explanations:
AWS Snowball Edge is capable of handling larger datasets, but it requires NFS for data transfer, which the sensors do not support, as they can only upload via FTP.
AWS Snowcone is a lightweight option, but storing data as an Amazon EBS volume is not ideal for later transfer to Amazon S3, and there’s no FTP server setup.
AWS Snowcone can host an EC2 instance, allowing installation of an FTP server. This setup enables the sensors to upload data over FTP, which meets the requirements. The device can then be returned to AWS to transfer the data to Amazon S3.
Amazon FSx is not suitable here, as the data needs to be collected via FTP, not a file system protocol like NFS or SMB. Additionally, Amazon FSx does not support direct data transfer to Amazon S3.
I measure that the answer is:
Order an AWS Snowcone device, including an Amazon Linux 2 AMI. Connect the device to the local network. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance on the device. Install and configure an FTP server on the EC2 instance. Configure the sensors to upload data to the EC2 instance. After the experiment, return the device to AWS so that the data can be loaded into Amazon S3.
