AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 716

A company is planning to migrate to the AWS Cloud. The company needs to understand the existing on-premises usage and configuration. The company does not want to replicate its workloads to AWS, yet.

Which AWS service or tool will meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Application Discovery Service is designed specifically to gather configuration, usage, and behavior data from on-premises servers to help plan a cloud migration without replicating workloads. AWS Application Migration Service is used for the actual replication and migration of servers, which the company does not want to do yet. Cloud Migration Factory is used for automating large-scale migrations, and AWS Transfer Family is for secure file transfers, making neither suitable for this discovery phase.
