A company is conducting an experiment in a remote location without internet connectivity. The experiment involves sensors connected to a local network that will generate 6 TB of data in a proprietary format over one week. These sensors can be configured to upload data files to an FTP server periodically, but they lack their own FTP server and do not support other protocols. The company requires a solution to centrally collect this data and transfer it to object storage in the AWS Cloud promptly after the experiment. Which solution meets these requirements?

Explanation:
The correct answer is option C. The AWS Snowcone device includes an Amazon Linux 2 AMI, which can be used to run an Amazon EC2 instance. By installing and configuring an FTP server on the EC2 instance, the sensors can upload their data to the instance. Once the data is collected, the device can be returned to AWS, where the data can be loaded into Amazon S3. This approach directly addresses the requirement to collect data via FTP and transfer it to AWS Cloud storage promptly.
