Which AWS service should a solutions architect recommend for this migration?
AWS Snowball
AWS Snowmobile
AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimize
AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimize
Explanations:
AWS Snowball is designed for transferring large amounts of data to AWS, but it does not provide on-device compute capabilities for complex data transformations. It is mainly used for data transfer tasks.
AWS Snowmobile is a solution for transferring extremely large datasets (petabytes) to AWS. It is not suitable for transferring multiple terabytes of data, nor does it offer compute capabilities for data transformation.
AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized is focused on data transfer and storage, but like the standard Snowball, it lacks the necessary compute capabilities for performing complex data transformations before transfer.
AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized allows for both data transfer and edge computing capabilities, enabling the execution of complex transformations on data before it is sent to AWS. This makes it the most suitable option for the company’s needs.
