Select 2An organization is planning to migrate its on-premises applications to AWS. They have a diverse inventory of applications, including some with unknown dependencies and legacy systems. The organization needs a solution to analyze their existing environment, discover application dependencies, and perform a seamless migration with minimal downtime. Which combination of services will best meet their requirements?
- A
AWS Application Discovery Service
- B
AWS Snowball
- C
AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
- D
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
- E
AWS DataSync
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
The combination of AWS Application Discovery Service and AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is the best choice for this scenario. AWS Application Discovery Service helps in analyzing the existing environment and discovering dependencies, which is essential for planning a migration. AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) facilitates the actual migration of applications with minimal downtime by rehosting them on AWS. The other services mentioned address specific aspects of data or database migration but do not provide the required functionality for application dependency discovery and seamless migration.
- A. Correct.
AWS Application Discovery Service is designed to collect information about on-premises environments, including server dependencies, which is critical for planning application migrations effectively.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Snowball is a physical data transfer device used for moving large amounts of data to AWS. While it is useful for data migration, it is not specifically designed for analyzing dependencies or performing live application migrations.
- C. Correct.
AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) enables seamless, minimal-downtime migration of applications to AWS. It is particularly suited for rehosting applications and complements the discovery phase.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is used for migrating databases to AWS. While it is useful for database migrations, it does not provide application dependency analysis or live application migration capabilities.
- E. Incorrect.
AWS DataSync is used for automating the transfer of data between on-premises storage and AWS. It is not designed for application dependency discovery or live application migration.
