Question 26 of 75 | ← Chapter 2

Q176. A solutions architect needs to assess a newly acquired company's portfolio of applications and databases. The solutions architect must create a business case to migrate the portfolio to AWS. The newly acquired company runs applications in an on-premises data center. The data center is not well documented. The solutions architect cannot immediately determine how many applications and databases exist. Traffic for the applications is variable. Some applications are batch processes that run at the end of each month. The solutions architect must gain a better understanding of the portfolio before a migration to AWS can begin. Which solution will meet these requirements?

• A. Use AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) and AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to evaluate migration. Use AWS Service Catalog to understand application and database dependencies
• B. Use AWS Application Migration Service. Run agents on the on-premises infrastructure. Manage the agents by using AWS Migration Hub. Use AWS Storage Gateway to assess local storage needs and database dependencies
• C. Use Migration Evaluator to generate a list of servers. Build a report for a business case. Use AWS Migration Hub to view the portfolio. Use AWS Application Discovery Service to gain an understanding of application dependencies ✓
• D. Use AWS Control Tower in the destination account to generate an application portfolio. Use AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) to generate deeper reports and a business case. Use a landing zone for core accounts and resources

Correct Answer: C. Use Migration Evaluator to generate a list of servers. Build a report for a business case. Use AWS Migration Hub to view the portfolio. Use AWS Application Discovery Service to gain an understanding of application dependencies

Explanation

This solution involves using Migration Evaluator, which is a free cloud migration assessment tool that can help assess the readiness and complexity of migrating on-premises applications to AWS. It can be used to generate a detailed report about the on-premises infrastructure, including a list of servers, operating systems, and other relevant information. The report can be used to build a business case for migration. AWS Migration Hub can be used to view the portfolio of applications and databases and track the progress of migration. AWS Application Discovery Service can be used to gain an understanding of the application dependencies before migrating them to AWS. This approach allows for a comprehensive analysis of the existing environment before beginning the migration to AWS. First need to evaluate
