AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 359

A company wants to move its on-premises databases to managed cloud database services by using a simplified migration process.

Which AWS service or tool can help the company meet this requirement?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is specifically designed to migrate databases to AWS quickly and securely while keeping the source database operational during the migration. AWS Storage Gateway is used for hybrid cloud storage, AWS DataSync is for transferring file and object data, and AWS Application Migration Service is designed for lift-and-shift migrations of entire physical or virtual servers, making them incorrect for database-specific migrations.
