AWS OpsHub
AWS OpsHub is a graphical user interface you can use to manage AWS Snowball devices. AWS OpsHub makes it easy to setup and manage AWS Snowball devices enabling you to rapidly deploy edge computing workloads and simplify data migration to the cloud. With just a few clicks in AWS OpsHub, you have the full functionality of the Snow Family of devices at your fingertips; you can unlock and configure devices, drag-and-drop data to devices, launch applications, and monitor device metrics.
Snowball Edge Client
The Snowball Edge Client is a terminal application for Snow Family devices that you can use to unlock, set up, and administer devices.
We recommend using the latest Linux or Mac clients which support the Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) extension to the x86 instruction set architecture. This improves speeds for encrypting or decrypting data during transfers between the SSnow Family devices and your Mac or Linux workstations.
