ANS-C01 Question 402
Single answerA company needs a cost-effective solution to transfer large volumes of data between their on-premises environment and their VPC in AWS. The data transfer is expected to be consistent, but the company does not require high throughput or dedicated bandwidth. Which solution should they implement?
- A
Set up an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection between the on-premises environment and the VPC.
- B
Establish an AWS Direct Connect connection with a 10 Gbps dedicated line.
- C
Utilize AWS Snowball devices for regular data transfers.
- D
Use the internet with a public IP address to transfer data directly to the VPC.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection is the best choice for this scenario as it provides a secure, reliable, and cost-effective solution for consistent data transfer between on-premises environments and a VPC. It does not require the high costs associated with AWS Direct Connect and is more practical than AWS Snowball or unsecured internet connections for ongoing data transfers.
- A. Correct.
An AWS Site-to-Site VPN is a cost-effective solution for secure data transfer between on-premises and AWS. While it does not offer the high throughput of AWS Direct Connect, it is sufficient for consistent data transfers without requiring a dedicated line.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Direct Connect is designed for high-throughput, low-latency connections, but it involves significant costs for dedicated lines and is not the most cost-effective option for this use case.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Snowball is suited for one-time or infrequent large-scale data transfers, but it is not practical for consistent, ongoing data transfer needs.
- D. Incorrect.
Using the internet with a public IP address is not secure and could result in high variability in performance, making it unsuitable for consistent and secure data transfer.
