Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Application Discovery Service is the best option for gathering detailed information about on-premises servers, such as configurations, resource utilization, and application dependencies. This data is critical for planning an effective and efficient migration strategy. Other services like AWS Migration Hub, AWS Application Migration Service, and AWS Server Migration Service serve different purposes and do not provide the discovery and analysis capabilities needed in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
AWS Application Discovery Service is specifically designed to collect information about on-premises servers, including their configurations, utilization, and application dependencies, making it ideal for creating a detailed migration plan.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Migration Hub provides a centralized dashboard to track the progress of migrations but does not perform discovery or dependency analysis of on-premises servers.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Application Migration Service is used for rehosting applications by replicating servers to AWS, but it does not provide detailed discovery or dependency mapping.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Server Migration Service is a tool for migrating virtual machines to AWS but does not offer the ability to collect detailed configuration or dependency information about on-premises servers.
