A company wants to start using AWS Redshift for storing their existing On-premise data warehousing solution. They need to transfer around 10 PB of data from their on-premise environment to AWS. Which of the following would be the ideal solution to transfer the data onto AWS?

Answer options:

A.Use the AWS Redshift COPY command
B.Use the AWS Snowball device
C.Use AWS VPN connections
D.Use AWS Kinesis

Answer – B
The AWS Documentation mentions the following
AWS provides multiple ways to move data from your datacenter to AWS. To establish a dedicated network connection between your network and AWS, you can use AWS Direct Connect. To move petabytes to exabytes of data to AWS using physical appliances, you can use AWS Snowball and AWS Snowmobile. To have your on-premises applications store data directly into AWS, you can use AWS Storage Gateway.
Option A is incorrect since this should only used once the data is in AWS
Option C is incorrect since this would not be an adequate enough connection to transfer data onto AWS.
Option D is incorrect since streaming the data would be inconvenient.
