AWS Snowball is a petabyte-scale data transport service that uses secure devices to transfer large amounts of data into and out of the AWS Cloud. Snowball addresses common challenges with large-scale data transfers including high network costs, long transfer times, and security concerns. AWS Snowball can transfer up to 80 TB of data per device, and multiple devices can be used in parallel to meet the migration deadline. AWS Snowball is more cost-effective than AWS Snowmobile, which is designed for exabyte-scale data transfers, or Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration, which is optimized for fast transfers over long distances. Amazon S3 VPC endpoint does not increase the upload speed, but only provides a secure and private connection between the VPC and S3. References: AWS Snowball, AWS Snowmobile, Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration, Amazon S3 VPC endpoint
