There is a requirement to load a lot of data from your on-premises network to AWS S3, bypassing the internet service. What can be used for this data transfer? (SELECT TWO)

Answer options:

A.Data Pipeline
B.Direct Connect
C.Snowball
D.AWS VPC Peering

Correct Answers – B and C
AWS documentation mentions the following about the above services.
With a Snowball, you can transfer hundreds of terabytes or petabytes of data between your on-premises data centers and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). AWS Snowball uses Snowball appliances and provides powerful interfaces that you can use to create jobs, transfer data, and track your jobs` status to completion. By shipping your data in Snowballs, you can transfer large amounts of data at a significantly faster rate than if you were transferring that data over the Internet, saving you time and money.
AWS Direct Connect links your internal network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard 1-gigabit or 10-gigabit Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end of the cable is connected to your router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router. With this connection in place, you can create virtual interfaces directly to public AWS services (for example, Amazon S3) or Amazon VPC, bypassing Internet service providers in your network path.

Option A is Incorrect because AWS Data Pipeline is a web service that you can use to automate data movement and transformation. Here, we are not transforming the data, and we are just moving the data from on-premises to S3.
Option D is Incorrect because VPC Peering is used for the connection between two AWS VPCs. It cannot transfer the data from on-premises to AWS S3.
