Q

What is the AWS snow family and it’s use cases?

A

It’s a highly secure portable device to collect and process data at the edge, and migrate data into and out of AWS and are offline devices that all you to perform data migrations

It’s use case is: data migration and edge computing (if it takes more than a week to transfer over the network use snowball devices)
