About AWS Snowball
Accelerate moving offline data or remote storage to the cloud. Easily migrate petabytes of data to the cloud without limits in storage capacity or compute power. Accelerate application performance in disconnected, austere edge environments and run compute workloads with little or no connectivity. Protect your data in transit with Snowball’s ruggedized chassis, integrated logistics, and tamper-evident box, and get data to the right place quickly. In the AWS Snowball console, select your preferred device, either AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized or AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized. Create a job with an Amazon S3 bucket, select Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) for tracking, and configure options like Amazon EC2 AMIs. AWS prepares and ships the device to you. Once the device arrives, power it up and use AWS OpsHub to unlock it. Connect to your LAN. Use AWS OpsHub to manage the device, transfer data, or launch EC2 instances.
