Explanation
The combination of AWS Application Discovery Service, AWS Application Migration Service, and AWS Migration Hub provides the necessary tools to assess the existing on-premises environment, automate the migration of applications, and centrally track the progress of the migration. AWS Application Discovery Service is used during the assessment phase, AWS Application Migration Service is used for the actual lift-and-shift migrations, and AWS Migration Hub is used for tracking and managing the migration process. AWS DataSync is not relevant for application migration, and AWS CloudEndure Migration is not the recommended service anymore.
- A. Correct.
AWS Application Discovery Service helps assess on-premises infrastructure by collecting information about applications, their dependencies, and resource utilization. This is essential for planning migrations.
