AWS Import / Export will accelerate the transfer of large amounts of data to S3 storage
Amazon has announced AWS Import / Export service. According to them, using mail services and downloading data from and to the final physical device bypassing the Internet in some cases is really faster.
The source of the problem is that, despite their American correct Internet speeds, it takes too long to upload very large amounts of data to S3 (read much more data as from 1TB).
Amazon offers its users to transfer data to send them a physical device to which they can import / export data from S3 using the API and the Job engine.
Requirements for devices cover almost their entire spectrum (USB, eSATA, 3.5 and 2.5-inch SATA devices, file system: ntfs, ext2, ext3, fat32). In addition, you can attach an adapter to non-standard devices.
Amazon cited a table that indicates when it makes sense to use the new service.
The cost of the service is $ 80 per device and $ 2.49 for each full and incomplete hour of data operations.
