Hello theodosiostziomakas,
Good day!
Thank you for posting here. I understand your confusion. Let me elaborate the option D.
The option D involves using AWS Snowcone, a portable edge computing and data transfer device, to facilitate data migration from on-premises Windows file servers to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. The process begins by connecting the Snowcone device to the on-premises network. AWS OpsHub, a software tool for managing Snow Family devices, provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring and managing these devices. In this scenario, you would use AWS OpsHub to interact with the Snowcone device. OpsHub can be installed on a local machine (like a laptop) and connected to the Snowcone device to manage its operations. It is then used to launch the AWS DataSync agent AMI (Amazon Machine Image) on the Snowcone device. This DataSync agent is a software component that manages data transfer tasks. Once the agent is launched, it is activated via the AWS Management Console, connecting it to the AWS account and preparing it for data transfer. DataSync tasks are then configured to transfer data directly from the on-premises file servers to the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. This method ensures that file permissions are preserved during the transfer. The combination of Snowcone’s portability and security with DataSync’s efficient data transfer capabilities makes this a robust solution for the corporation’s data migration needs.
I hope this helps.
