AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 718

Which AWS service can migrate Amazon EC2 instances from one AWS Region to another?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Application Migration Service is specifically designed to simplify and expedite the migration of applications and virtual machines, including EC2 instances, between AWS Regions. AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is focused on database migrations, AWS DataSync is for online data transfer, and AWS Migration Hub acts as a central tracking portal rather than performing the migrations directly.
