Data Management and Transfer
In Chapter 1, High-Performance Computing Fundamentals, we introduced the concepts of HPC applications, why we need HPC, and its use cases across different industries. Before we begin developing HPC applications, we need to migrate the required data into the cloud. In this chapter, we will uncover some of the challenges in managing and transferring data to the cloud and the ways to mitigate them. We will dive deeper into the services in AWS online and offline data transfer services using which you can securely transfer data to the AWS cloud, while maintaining data integrity and consistency. We will cover different data transfer scenarios and provide guidance on how to select the right service for each one.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Importance of data management
- Challenges of moving data into the cloud
- How to securely transfer large amounts of data into the cloud
- AWS online data transfer services ...
