AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 317

A company wants to migrate its on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud. This includes thousands of virtualized Linux and Microsoft Windows servers, SAN storage, Java and PHP applications with MYSQL, and Oracle databases. There are many dependent services hosted either in the same data center or externally.
The technical documentation is incomplete and outdated. A solutions architect needs to understand the current environment and estimate the cloud resource costs after the migration.
Which tools or services should solutions architect use to plan the cloud migration? (Choose three.)

Answer options

Correct answer: A, D, F

Explanation

AWS Application Discovery Service collects usage and dependency data from on-premises servers to help plan the migration, while the AWS Cloud Adoption Readiness Tool (CART) helps assess the organization's overall cloud readiness. AWS Migration Hub integrates these tools to provide a central location for planning and tracking the migration progress. Other options like AWS SMS are used for the actual replication of virtual machines, whereas AWS X-Ray and Amazon Inspector are focused on application debugging and security vulnerability scanning.
