AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02

Selected Answer: C
It's Just had this question on my exam, and it’s all about understanding the cost-related activities with an Amazon Snowball Edge device. The correct answer revolves around the 10-day free use period (A) and other key processes that don’t incur charges, like transferring data from the appliance into S3 (C). I remember this being clearly explained in the examforusre.com guide, which detailed how AWS billing works for Snowball devices. The pro version broke down these activities step by step, making it much easier to grasp. Pro tip: Watch out for hints like “no-cost activities” to quickly eliminate irrelevant options!

How was you exam? did questions from here show

Selected Answer: C
I test in an hour, wish me luck. I'll be back to tell you my results

Selected Answer: C
Although there is an explanation on the official website about small files occurring in payment, that charge is for the S3 service and not for the Snowball device.

As for alternative A, the first 10 days' price is included in the on-demand value, so technically, you are paying for those days.

Selected Answer: C
C is valid answer because with B,to transfer to and from s3 buckets using Amazon S3 REST API actions.

Selected Answer: C

Selected Answer: C
C. The transfer of data from the Snowball Edge appliance into Amazon S3

Selected Answer: C
In my view, C is more appropriate answer among the available options. however as per AWS doc. if millions of small files (say 1mb or below) are transferred to S3, it may attract PUT charges. In such case, there may be charges applied depending on the high PUT charges.

When using an Amazon Snowball Edge device to transfer files to the AWS Cloud, there are several activities that are available to the company at no additional cost. These include:

Data Transfer into Amazon S3:

Transferring data from the Snowball Edge device into Amazon S3 does not incur any charges. AWS does not charge for data ingestion into S3.
Device Shipping (Standard Shipping):

The cost of standard shipping to and from AWS is included in the service cost. This means that AWS covers the shipping charges for delivering the Snowball Edge device to your location and returning it to AWS, provided you use the standard shipping option.
Data Transfer within Snowball Edge Device:

Moving data within the Snowball Edge device, such as transferring data to the device's local storage, is free of charge.

Selected Answer: C
from AWS web
* On-demand pricing includes a service fee per job, which includes 10 days of device use for SBE Snowball Edge Storage Optimized 80TB device......
* Data transfer IN to Amazon S3 is $0.00 per GB (except for small files as explained below).
So the better answer would be C.
Because use of the AWS Snowball Edge device is subject to an on-demand service fee, which includes 10 days of usage.

Selected Answer: C
C is the answer if single correct, A is not 100% clear

Agree with Kilobay1
-Depending on the Snowball Edge device selection and job configuration, either the first ten (10) days or fifteen (15) days of onsite usage are included in the service fee. If you keep the device longer than the free onsite usage period, then you incur a fee for each additional day you keep the device.
- Data transferred IN to AWS does not incur any data transfer fees

This should be one of the AWS two part answer both A & C would be correct.

you will be charged for the data transfer and AWS service usage once the device is in use
transferring data to and from the snowball edge device is free within the same awsregion
however snowball devices incur data transfer charges if you transferr data between the regions or between the snowball edge device and other AWS services outside the same region there are no additional charges for using it during the rental period typically 10 days for the snowball edge storage optimized and 30 days for snowball edge computeoptimized

Selected Answer: C
you will be charged for data transfer and AWS service usage once the device is in use.
transferring data to and from the snowball edge device is free within same AWS region
however snowball devices may incur data transfer charges if you transfer data between regions or between the snowball edge device and other AWS services outside the same region there are no additional charges for using it during the rental period typically 10 days for snowball edge storage optimized and 30 days for Snowball edge compute optimized.

Selected Answer: C
I just want to point out that answer B makes no sense, since the Snow devices have the purpose to get into an AWS storage data that are not already there.

Selected Answer: C
Amazon S3 transfer of Data within same region is free

Selected Answer: C
In official docs, it's say "customer pay for use of devices and data transfer in AWS" and there are 2 purchasing options is "on-demand" and "up-front" pricing, so the answer is seems to be C

Selected Answer: B
A. Loose coupling: This is a design principle that promotes independence between components in a system. It enhances flexibility and scalability by reducing dependencies. While beneficial for system architecture, it doesn't directly target cost optimization.

B. Rightsizing: Involves selecting the appropriate size and type of AWS resources to match the workload's actual needs. The focus is on optimizing costs by avoiding overprovisioning and ensuring resources are efficiently utilized. Regular reviews and adjustments contribute to ongoing cost-effectiveness.

C. Caching: Involves storing frequently accessed data to reduce the need to fetch it repeatedly from the original source. It improves performance and can indirectly contribute to cost savings by reducing the load on backend resources. The primary focus, however, is on enhancing application performance rather than direct cost optimization.

D. Redundancy: Involves having duplicate components to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. While crucial for reliability and minimizing downtime, redundancy's primary goal is not direct cost optimization. It can prevent costs associated with disruptions and downtime.
