AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (SAP-C02) — Question 37

A company wants to migrate its workloads from on premises to AWS. The workloads run on Linux and Windows. The company has a large on-premises infrastructure that consists of physical machines and VMs that host numerous applications.

The company must capture details about the system configuration, system performance, running processes, and network connections of its on-premises workloads. The company also must divide the on-premises applications into groups for AWS migrations. The company needs recommendations for Amazon EC2 instance types so that the company can run its workloads on AWS in the most cost-effective manner.

Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Assess the existing applications by installing AWS Application Discovery Agent on the physical machines and VMs.
• B. Assess the existing applications by installing AWS Systems Manager Agent on the physical machines and VMs.
• C. Group servers into applications for migration by using AWS Systems Manager Application Manager.
• D. Group servers into applications for migration by using AWS Migration Hub.
• E. Generate recommended instance types and associated costs by using AWS Migration Hub.
• F. Import data about server sizes into AWS Trusted Advisor. Follow the recommendations for cost optimization.

Correct answer: A, D, E

Explanation

Option A is correct because AWS Application Discovery Agent gathers necessary data about the on-premises applications and systems. Option D is also correct as AWS Migration Hub helps organize applications for migration effectively. Option E is valid since AWS Migration Hub provides recommendations for instance types and associated costs. Options B, C, and F do not align with the requirement to capture detailed system information or to categorize applications for migration as effectively as the chosen options.
