How can AWS Snowball handle petabyte-scale data migration?

  1. Data is sent via a shipping container, pulled by a semi-trailer truck.

  3. Data is sent via a physical appliance sent to you by AWS.
  4. Data is sent encoded (forward error correction) via a high speed network connection.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Snowball uses secure appliances to transfer large amounts of data into and out of the AWS cloud; this is fast and cheaper than high-speed Internet.
