A manufacturing company whose head office is in Sydney, have plants in 16 locations across the world. Employees based in these 16 locations have to send their daily development data to AWS for storage and further analysis. Data size is expected to be in GBs. What is the best way to send the data to AWS?

Answer options:

A.They can send through AWS Direct Connect and store the data in Amazon S3.
B.They can store the data in Amazon S3 and send it through Snowball.
C.They can send through S3 Transfer acceleration and store the data in Amazon S3.
D.They can store in Amazon Glacier and send through S3 Transfer acceleration.

Answer: C
Option A is Incorrect because direct connect is ideal for clients who want to establish private connectivity between their on-prem network and AWS for some location. This is not the right solution for moving files from multiple locations.
Option B is Incorrect because snowball is ideal for clients moving a large bunch of data at once.
Option C is Correct because S3 Transfer acceleration gives the ability to write into the single S3 Bucket from various locations. It uses edge locations to move the data.
Option D is Incorrect because Transfer acceleration doesn’t work with the Amazon Glacier storage class.
