AWS Import/Export supports data upload/download from Amazon S3 and data upload to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). This guide assumes that you are an Amazon S3 or an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) user for Amazon EBS data. If that is not the case, go to the Amazon S3 Getting Started Guide or Amazon EC2 Getting Started Guide for Amazon EBS data. |
AWS Import/Export is a service for transferring large amounts of data between AWS and portable storage devices that you ship to us. For large data sets, AWS Import/Export can be significantly faster than Internet transfer and more cost effective than upgrading your connectivity. AWS transfers data directly onto and off of your storage devices using Amazon’s high-speed internal network. After the data export or import completes, we return your storage device.
