Data Migration1

The document discusses using AWS Snowmobiles to transfer 500 TB of data due to the large data size. Snowmobiles devices are requested from the AWS console and once received, the Snowmobile client must be installed on servers to copy files to the device for shipping back to AWS, where the data will be loaded into an S3 bucket and the device wiped. For long-term cold storage, an S3 lifecycle policy can transfer data not accessed in 90 days to Glacier or Glacier Deep Archive to reduce costs.

We can use AWS Snowmobiles service for this,

We have to use AWS Snowmobiles from snow family for data transfer because the data size is around
500 TB.

We have to Request for the Snowmobiles device from AWS Console.

Once snowmobile device is reached we have to install snowmobile client on our servers.

We have to connect snowball to our servers and have to copy the files using that client.

We have to ship back to the device to AWS when we are done.

Once shipping is done data will be loaded into s3 bucket.

and snowball is completely wiped.

For cold storage we can use S3 bucket lifecycle policy to transfer the data for back up for not using
for 90 days into the S3 Glacier or S3 Glacier deep archive for

reducing the cost .

The diagram is as follows.


Other services:

AWS Direct connect:


AWS Direct connect is service In which we can connect on premises data centre to AWS through
dedicated private network which have high bandwith and low latency.

AWS have direct connect locations, around the different cities in world.

We can connect privately the On-premises data centre to Direct connect. AWS Direct connect is
already connected to AWS Region by AWS Own network.

Advanateges of AWS direct connect are as it provides dedicated and consistent network.

Provides the network bandwidth from 50 mbps to 100GBPS over single connection so our latency is
reduced.

It has low data transfer cost.

As shown in above diagram, In the middle of AWS Region and on-premises there is Direct Connect
Location. Inside direct location there are two types of routers.One is AWS Direct connect router and
other is customer or private nertwork.Corporate Data Centre connects so customer or private
network router. Customer router connects to AWS Direct connect router and this router is directly
connecte to AWS Region.
We have to establish physical connection between Corporate data centre and Customer or private
router.

Physical connection between corporate data centre and customer or partner route is established by
customer. Cross connection request we have to ask and is done by Direct connect Location.

Dedicated Connection:

In dedicated Connection we have our own router It is customer router then we ask for Setting
physical link between our Corporate Data centre and Customer Route.We can have the connectivity
in 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps depends upon the data size.For 1 Gbps it costs around $0.30/hour,
10 Gbps $2.25/hour and 100Gbps $22.50/hour.

Steps:

We have to establish private connection with AWS using AWS Direct connect. This can be done by
ordering a dedicated network connection from a Direct Connect partner or a Direct Connect location
and connect it to on premises data centre.

Once the Connection between on-premises and AWS is established. We have to create VPC inside
AWS we know that as VPC is used to create logically isolated resources in cloud.

Then we have create Amazon S3 in the cloud. As, Amazon S3 is used to store the data and it has
infinite storage it scale automatically and high has high durablitiy i.e 99.9999999999999 means we
are expected to lose one file over thousand years and high availability.

After storing the data in amazon S3 we can use S3 lifecycle policy to intelligently move data between
Frequent and Infrequent access by using S3 Intelligent tering. Which will save our cost and data will
be available frequently. As shown In the diagram.
