Instructor: So let's have a look at the snow family.
So services in the snow family
which is large scale data transports.
So in here we're able to either process data at the edge
or migrate data in and out of AWS,
so two different kinds of use cases.
and we have snowcones, snowball and snowmobile.
So let's order one.
So we have to plan your job.
And so these are the use cases for the snow family.
So either we want to import data into Amazon S3.
In which case we get an empty device
that will be shipped to us
and then we transfer data onto it
and we ship it back.
Or we can export data from Amazon S3.
So lets do the other way
this will put data onto this new device,
send it to us.
And then we send back the device for erasing.
Or if you want to do edge computing
we could select
local compute and storage only.
So let's have a look.
Let's first look at import data into Amazon S3.
In this case, we have to specify an address.
So I'll just call it a example.
In example, the company's example
the country is the United States, kingdom
whatever this works example,
this is just a fake address
just so that we can not applicable for division.
The zip code is a, B, C, D E,
and the phone number is zero zero zero zero zero zero zero.
Let's hopefully hope this work works
and then let's do express shipping
or a standard shipping.
And this basically defines how fast
the device gets to you.
Okay. So my address has been created.
Now I'll just create a job
so I can call this one, a test job.
So tests job,
and as we can see
we need to choose our snow device.
So do we want a snowball edge storage optimized,
snowball edge compute optimized,
or compute optimized with GPU.
And I believe that in this region,
in the London region
we don't have access to snow cone devices
but they would be here if we had access to it.
So maybe, maybe I'll just switch regions very quickly
go to Ireland
and we should start seeing some snowcones as well.
So the same job.
And then we'll just do example everywhere.
So it will be very quick,
here into the into...
and maybe it's also an availability
based on the country.
So let's choose Ireland
and then whatever States example
and then A, B, C, E and a bunch of zeros.
Here we go, express shipping click on next.
And here we go.
So now we have access to snow cone as well.
So here's my test job.
And as we can see here,
we have access to snow cone
but also the three types of snowball edge.
So storage optimized, compute optimized
or compute optimized with GPU.
So if you were to transfer a small amount of data
we would choose an eight terabyte snowcone device.
But if you want to transfer a large amount of data,
maybe getting a snowball edge storage optimized
is the best way to go.
The next one to choose a S3 storage
we want to load data onto.
So we can just for example
chooses this bucket
or create a new bucket to import data.
Once we've loaded onto the snowball
and send it back to AWS.
And then click on next,
we could do some encryption.
We can create some service roles
and then let's click on create service role
just to have service access.
Yes, this is done.
Click on next.
We can create an SNS topic to get notified.
So call it snow family notifications.
And for example@example.com
which is a fake email address.
And as we can see here,
now that we have the snowball devices shipped to us
we should download AWS OpsHub
to manage your snow family devices
and have a UI that allows us
to transfer data into the devices
or launch instances and so on.
And to get upside,
we would just click on this link
and then we'll see that OpsHub
is something that needs to be installed
for windows, Mac, or Linux.
And there's a download button right here.
Okay. So this all makes sense.
Then we can review the job
and please don't click on create
because this will cost you a lot of money.
This is not a free service
so I'm not going to click on create job.
If you do, you're going to have a very heavy AWS bill.
So please don't do that.
But if you order a family device for another use case
which is edge computing,
so let's do it for edge computing.
So I can choose a local compute and storage only
which is the edge computing.
And as we can see here
we can create a cluster if we want it to,
this is optional
but if I were to enter a customer name
then we would have a cluster
but I'm not going to do it.
So this is not a cluster.
click on next.
We'll use the same address as before
express shipping and test edge computing.
Cause we can see here,
we have the same snow devices available to us.
So snowcone, edge,
storage optimized is on.
But maybe because we want to run a compute job
and this can be a heavy compute job.
We can choose the third option
and we don't need a GPU maybe for this time.
So let's not use the GPU.
So we'll choose this option.
This looks great.
I will scroll down again
an S3 storage if you want it to transfer
back data into an S3 bucket.
But here as we can see
we can compute using easy two instances
and this is optional
but here we can load EC2 AMIs
onto our snowball edge device.
And this is going to allow us
to run competitions using this Institute instance.
And this is where you would customize it.
The rest of the options are exactly the same.
So this really shows you the power of the snow family.
And you don't see a snowmobile here
because I guess it's only for the United States
but you really see that you have different kinds
of devices for different kinds of use cases and so on.
So I hope that helps.
And I will see you in the next lecture.
