You can have your shit packed into a snowball and shipped to you.

- WrtCdEvrydy 4y agoThere's no egress for snowball, you just pay snowball pricing.

- vbezhenar 4y agoIt's confusing. https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/ https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/ Quickly retrieve data from the cloud whenever you need it. What does it mean?

Or in other words, "there is no special restriction on data added through Snowball". Feels a bit like intentional misdirection, but it's more likely a case of sloppy writing.
