Question

A media company has a 30-TB repository of digital news videos. These videos are stored on tape in an on-premises tape library and referenced by a Media Asset Management (MAM) system. The company wants to enrich the metadata for these videos in an automated fashion and put them into a searchable catalog by using a MAM feature. The company must be able to search based on information in the video, such as objects, scenery items, or people's faces. A catalog is available that contains faces of people who have appeared in the videos that include an image of each person. The company would like to migrate these videos to AWS. The company has a high-speed AWS Direct Connect connection with AWS and would like to move the MAM solution video content directly from its current file system. How can these requirements be met by using the LEAST amount of ongoing management overhead and causing MINIMAL disruption to the existing system?

Common mistakes.

  • B. An AWS Storage Gateway tape gateway is designed for virtual tape libraries and backup solutions, not for migrating existing file system content for direct S3 access and processing.
  • C. Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is for real-time video ingestion and analytics, not for bulk migration of an existing 30 TB video repository from an on-premises file system.
  • D. Setting up an EC2 instance with OpenCV and manually copying videos is an inefficient, non-scalable approach for a 30 TB migration, especially when the goal is to leverage an existing file system and Direct Connect.
