Explanation
AWS Snowball Edge is the correct choice for this scenario because:
- Data Transfer Without Internet: AWS Snowball Edge is a physical device that AWS ships to your location, allowing you to transfer large amounts of data (like 100 TB) offline without using your internet connection
- Large Data Migration: It's specifically designed for petabyte-scale data migrations where internet bandwidth would be insufficient or too slow
- Secure Transport: Data is encrypted during transfer and the device is securely transported back to AWS
Why the other options are incorrect:
- Amazon Connect: This is a cloud-based contact center service, not a data migration tool
- AWS DataSync: While this service helps automate data transfer between on-premises and AWS, it typically requires network connectivity (internet or AWS Direct Connect)
- AWS VPN services: These provide secure network connectivity over the internet, but still require internet usage which contradicts the requirement
Key Takeaway: For large-scale data migrations (especially 100 TB) without internet usage, AWS Snowball Edge is the appropriate AWS service for secure, offline data transfer.
