SAA-C03 Question #512: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A disaster response team is using drones to collect images of recent storm damage. The response team's laptops lack the storage and compute capacity to transfer the images and process the data. While the team has Amazon EC2 instances for processing and Amazon S3 buckets for storage, network connectivity is intermittent and unreliable. The images need to be processed to evaluate the damage. What should a solutions architect recommend?

Options

• AUse AWS Snowball Edge devices to process and store the images.
• BUpload the images to Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) during intermittent
• CConfigure Amazon Data Firehose to create multiple delivery streams aimed separately at the S3
• DUse AWS Storage Gateway pre-installed on a hardware appliance to cache the images locally for

Explanation

AWS Snowball Edge is specifically designed for use cases that involve limited or unreliable network connectivity. It enables data transfer and local compute processing at edge locations. It comes in two options: Snowball Edge Storage Optimized and Snowball Edge Compute Optimized. The Compute Optimized model allows the disaster response team to both store images locally and process data on the device using Amazon EC2-compatible compute This removes the need for constant network connectivity. After processing, the device can be shipped back to AWS, where data is uploaded to S3. Other options fail due to: SQS not being suitable for large binary image data (Option B) Kinesis Data Firehose needing steady connectivity (Option C) Storage Gateway is for hybrid cloud environments with ongoing connection, not rugged field use
