How does AWS DataSync work?
In order to access any service from AWS, an active AWS account is needed.
- If the data to be transferred to AWS is residing in an on-premise storage, then a DataSync agent is deployed which is then associated with the AWS account.This agent will be used to access your NFS server or SMB file share to read data from it or write data to it.
- Create a task by specifying the location of your data source and destination, and any options you want to use to configure the transfer, such as the desired task schedule.
- Start the task and monitor data movement in the console or through Amazon CloudWatch.
How secure is my data transfer with AWS DataSync?
