Answer 1

Correct Answer - D.

The AWS Snowball service uses physical storage devices to transfer large amounts of data between Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and your onsite data storage location at faster-than-internet speeds.

Snowball provides powerful interfaces that you can use to create jobs, track data, and track your jobs' status through to completion.

Snowball devices are physically rugged devices protected by the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS)
