AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 622

A company plans to migrate to the AWS Cloud. The company wants to gather information about its on-premises data center.

Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Application Discovery Service is specifically designed to identify and gather information about on-premises servers, including their specifications and dependency mappings, to plan a cloud migration. AWS DataSync and AWS Storage Gateway are data transfer and storage integration services, not discovery tools. AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is utilized for migrating databases rather than discovering on-premises data center assets.
