Question

A company is planning a one-time migration of an on-premises MySQL database to Amazon Aurora MySQL in the us-east-1 Region. The company's current internet connection has limited bandwidth. The on-premises MySQL database is 60 TB in size. The company estimates that it will take a month to transfer the data to AWS over the current internet connection. The company needs a migration solution that will migrate the database more quickly. Which solution will migrate the database in the LEAST amount of time?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Order an AWS Snowball Edge device. Load the data into an Amazon S3 bucket by using the S3 interface. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the data from Amazon S3 to Aurora MySQL. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. AWS Snowball physically ships data to AWS, ideal when bandwidth is limited or data is very large. Amazon Aurora is a high-performance managed relational database with built-in replication and failover.
