Snowball

What is Snowball?

AWS Snowball (now part of AWS Snow Family) is a petabyte-scale data transport solution that uses physical storage devices to transfer large amounts of data into and out of AWS. It's commonly used when transferring data over the internet is impractical due to high network costs, long transfer times, or security concerns. Snowball Edge, a successor, adds on-board compute and storage capabilities for edge computing scenarios.
