What is the purpose of AWS Snowball?

To provide a data transport solution for transferring large amounts of data in and out of AWS

AWS Snowball is a physical storage device designed to help transfer large amounts of data into and out of AWS more efficiently. It is used for situations where transferring data over the internet is not feasible due to bandwidth limitations or restricted connectivity. It is also more cost effective than using traditional data transfer methods. Therefore, B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the main purpose of AWS Snowball. B refers to the capabilities of VPC in AWS, C refers to the functions of S3 in AWS, and D refers to the function of IAM in AWS. While these services may be used in conjunction with AWS Snowball, their main purpose is not data transfer.
