Snowball:

• Ordered from AWS, Log a job, Device Delievered (not instant)
• Data Encryption use KMS
• 50TB or 80TB Capacity
• 1 Gbps or 10Gbps Netowrk
• if storage is between 10 TB to 10PB, then it’s within economical range, if more, then order multiple Snowball(?)
• can send multiple devices to multiple premises

Snowball Edge:

• Both Storage and Compute
• Larger capaciy than Snowball
• 10 Gbps, 10/25, 45/50/100Gbps
  Edge has multiple mode, that is
  Storage Optimized (with EC2) – 80 TB, 24vCPU, 32 Gib RAM, 1 TB SSD
  Compute Optimized – 100 TB+7.68NVME, 52 vCPU and 208 GiB RAM
  Compute with GPU – as above, but with a GPU

Snowball is purely for storage, Edge include compute
use Edge when data processing or data ingestion is neededd

Snowmobile:

• Portable Data Center within a shipping container on a TRUCK (super cool)
