AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 499

A company wants to transfer a virtual Windows Server 2022 that is currently running in its own data center to AWS. The company wants to automatically convert the existing server to run directly on AWS infrastructure instead of visualized hardware.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS DataSync
• B. AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
• C. AWS Application Discovery Service
• D. AWS Application Migration Service

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) is designed to simplify and accelerate migrations by automatically converting physical, virtual, or cloud-based source servers to run natively on AWS. AWS DataSync and AWS DMS are used for data and database transfers rather than server-level replication and conversion. AWS Application Discovery Service only identifies and gathers information about on-premises servers to plan migrations, but does not execute the actual migration.
