A company needs to move 50 TB of data from on premises to AWS. A custom application in the data center runs a weekly data transformation job; the company will pause the application until the transfer completes and needs to resume the transformation job in AWS as soon as possible. The data center has no available network bandwidth for additional workloads. Which solution transfers the data and enables the transformation job to run in AWS with the LEAST operational overhead?

The correct option leverages AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized, which is ideal for large-scale data migrations (50 TB) when network bandwidth is limited. After the data is transferred to AWS, using AWS Glue for the transformation job offers the least operational overhead. AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service, eliminating the need to provision or manage servers. Incorrect options: AWS DataSync requires network bandwidth, which the data center lacks. AWS Snowcone is designed for smaller data transfers (up to 8 TB) and edge computing, not 50 TB. Deploying the transformation application to the device would also add operational overhead. Ordering a Snowball Edge with EC2 compute and then creating a new EC2 instance on AWS to run the transformation is redundant and adds unnecessary operational overhead. The goal is to run the job in AWS as soon as possible with minimal overhead, and Glue achieves this more efficiently.
