Amazon has discontinued its Snowmobile service, an 18-wheeler truck introduced in 2016 to help customers move large amounts of on-premises data to AWS facilities, CNBC’s Jordan Novet and Annie Palmer report. A page on the AWS website devoted to products for large-scale data migration no longer mentions the Snowmobile, according to the report. An AWS spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the company has introduced more cost-effective options for moving data. “Since we introduced Snowmobile in 2016, we’ve released many other new services and features which have made migrating data to AWS even faster and easier for our customers,” the spokesperson wrote.
