A company is planning a one-time migration of an on-premises MySQL database to Amazon Aurora MySQL in the us-east-1 Region. The company's current internet connection has limited bandwidth. The…

Requesting a 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection, while providing a dedicated connection, still requires significant time for provisioning and data transfer over the network, which would likely not be the least amount of time for 60 TB compared to an offline device.

AWS DataSync can accelerate data transfers over the internet, but it cannot overcome fundamental limitations of a severely restricted internet connection to achieve the 'least amount of time' for a 60 TB transfer.

Ordering an AWS Snowball Edge device is the most effective solution for migrating large datasets (like 60 TB) when on-premises internet bandwidth is limited, as it physically transports the data to AWS, completely bypassing network constraints and significantly reducing transfer time.

Ordering an AWS Snowball device is also a valid offline data transfer solution. However, both Snowball and Snowball Edge are suitable for this use case, with Snowball Edge offering additional compute and storage features, but for raw data transfer, the method is similar.
