Multiple Choice

A company currently has 250 TB of backup files stored in Amazon S3 in a vendor's proprietary format.

The company wants to minimize the data transfer charges associated with this conversation. What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?

• C) Use AWS Snowball Edge devices to export the data and install the conversion software onto the devices. Perform the data transformation and re-upload the files to Amazon S3 from the Snowball Edge devices.
• D) Launch an Amazon EC2 instance in the same Region as Amazon S3 and install the conversion software onto the instance. Perform the transformation and re-upload the files to Amazon S3 from the EC2 instance.
