AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 446

A company has resources across multiple AWS Regions and accounts. A newly hired solutions architect discovers a previous employee did not provide details about the resources inventory. The solutions architect needs to build and map the relationship details of the various workloads across all accounts.

Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way?

Answer options

• A. Use AWS Systems Manager Inventory to generate a map view from the detailed view report.
• B. Use AWS Step Functions to collect workload details. Build architecture diagrams of the workloads manually.
• C. Use Workload Discovery on AWS to generate architecture diagrams of the workloads.
• D. Use AWS X-Ray to view the workload details. Build architecture diagrams with relationships.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Workload Discovery on AWS is a pre-packaged AWS Solution designed specifically to automatically scan, aggregate, and visualize architecture diagrams of AWS workloads across multiple accounts and Regions. Other options, such as using AWS Systems Manager Inventory, AWS Step Functions, or AWS X-Ray, either do not natively support multi-account architectural mapping or require extensive manual effort to generate the diagrams.
