AWS Snowcone
I must not interact with big enough data to understand, but what is the point of this?  I have watched&#x2F;read several of the Snow product descriptions from AWS and I am still not quite sure I understand the point.<p>It seems like a way to sync local big data to AWS cloud storage for data that is too large to realistically transfer via the internet.  So is this simply a sneakernet external harddrive because physically shipping an 8TB hard drive has better bandwidth than using the internet?<p>I would love it if someone could explain a couple of use cases for the Snow family of products to someone that has never had to handle 100 GB of data much less terabytes.
