AWS Data Transfer Offline
This lesson is part of AWS · All levels
Summary
For large volumes of data or locations without adequate internet connectivity, AWS provides physical devices for the Snow Family, ranging from the portable Snowcone to the Snowball Edge at hundreds of terabytes of scale. Data is loaded at your location, and then the device is sent back to AWS for loading. This approach is much faster than slow internet transfers.
Key points
- Snowcone: portable device for edges and remote locations
- Optimized Snowball Edge Storage: capacity up to hundreds of TB
- Snowball Edge Compute Optimized: can run computing loads on location
- Data is encrypted with KMS and custody chains tracked
- Suitable for limited connections or high cost of exit
