S3 - Snowball

• AWS import/export disk accelerates moving large amounts of data into and out of the AWS cloud using portable storage devices for transportation. Snowball transfers your data directly into and out of storage devices using Amazon’s high speed internal network and bypassing the internet.
• Types of Snowballs:
• Snowball - Snowball is a petabyte scale data transport solution that uses secure applications to transfer large amount of data into and out of AWS. Using Snowball, addresses common challenges in large-scale data transfers including high network cost, long transfer times and security concerns. Transfering data with Snowball is simple, fast, secure and can be as little as one-fifth the cost of high-speed internet. Snowball uses multiple layer of security designed to protect your data, including tamper-resistant  enclosures, 256-bit encryption and an industry-standard Trust Platform Module (TPM) designed to ensure both security and full chain-of-custody of your data. Once the data transfer job has been processed and verified, AWS performs a software erasure of the Snowball appliance.
• Snowball Edge - is a 100TB data transfer device with on-board storage and compute capabilities. You can use Snowball Edge to move large amount of data into and out of AWS as a temporary storage tier for large local datasets, or to support local workloads. Snowball Edge connects to your existing applications and infrastructure using standard storage interfaces, streamlining the data transfer process and minimizing setup and integration. Snowball Edge can cluster together to form a local storage tier and process your data on-premise, helping to ensure your applications continue to run even when they are not able to access the cloud.
• Snowmobile - AWS Snowmobile is an Exabyte-scale data transfer service used to move extremely large amount of data to AWS. You can transfer upto 100PB per Snowmobile, a 45-foot long ruggedised shipping container, pulled by a semi-truck.
