DataSync, Transfer Family, and Snow Family Migration Lab
Design data transfer and migration architectures for the SAP-C02 exam. Create comprehensive design documents for DataSync, Transfer Family, and Snow Family services, build a service selection decision matrix, and perform hands-on S3 transfer testing with Transfer Acceleration.
Lab Overview
Data transfer and migration service selection is a key topic on the SAP-C02 exam. This lab focuses on designing architectures using AWS DataSync, Transfer Family (SFTP/FTPS/FTP), and the Snow Family for large-scale data migration. You'll create detailed design documents covering DataSync architecture for NFS/SMB migration, Transfer Family protocol deployments replacing on-premises SFTP servers, and Snow Family selection frameworks with data transfer calculations. The hands-on component tests S3 transfer patterns including multipart upload and Transfer Acceleration speed comparison. The lab concludes with a definitive 230+ line exam reference guide covering every AWS data transfer service with a decision matrix and common exam scenarios.
What You'll Learn
Design DataSync architectures for NFS/SMB migration including agent deployment, task scheduling, bandwidth throttling, and network patterns with VPC endpoints
Compare Transfer Family protocols (SFTP/FTPS/FTP/AS2) and design SFTP server replacements with appropriate authentication and endpoint configurations
Select Snow Family devices using a data volume vs. network speed decision framework and calculate transfer timelines for exam scenarios
Test S3 transfer patterns including single-part upload, multipart upload, sync, and Transfer Acceleration speed comparison
Build a comprehensive data transfer service selection guide with a decision matrix covering all exam-relevant transfer services
