A recently acquired company is required to build its own infrastructure on AWS and migrate multiple applications to the cloud within a month.Each application has approximately 50 TB of data to be transferred.After the migration is complete, this company and its parent company will both require secure network connectivity with consistent throughput from their data centers to the applications.A solutions architect must ensure one-time data migration and ongoing network connectivity.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

AWS Direct Connect for both the initial transfer and ongoing connectivity.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN for both the initial transfer and ongoing connectivity.

AWS Snowball for the initial transfer and AWS Direct Connect for ongoing connectivity.

AWS Snowball for the initial transfer and AWS Site-to-Site VPN for ongoing connectivity.

Explanations:

AWS Direct Connect is suitable for ongoing connectivity but is not ideal for the initial transfer of large data (50 TB) without a physical device.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN can handle ongoing connectivity but is not efficient for the initial transfer of large data due to potential bandwidth limitations.

AWS Snowball is designed for large data transfers, making it ideal for the initial migration, while AWS Direct Connect provides reliable, high-throughput connectivity afterward.

AWS Snowball is suitable for initial transfer, but AWS Site-to-Site VPN may not provide the consistent throughput required for ongoing connectivity.
