AWS Snowball User Guide
Using an AWS Snowball Appliance
Following, you can find an overview of the Snowball appliance, the physically rugged appliance
protected by AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) that you use to transfer data between your on-
premises data centers and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). This overview includes images
of the Snowball, instructions for preparing the appliance for data transfer, and networking best practices
to help optimize your data transfer.
For information on transferring data to or from a Snowball, see Transferring Data with a
Snowball (p. 51).
When the Snowball first arrives, inspect it for damage or obvious tampering.
Warning
If you notice anything that looks suspicious about the Snowball, don't connect it to your internal
network. Instead, contact AWS Support, and a new Snowball will be shipped to you.
The following is what the Snowball looks like.
