Question #1805
A company is preparing to migrate its on-premises infrastructure to AWS and needs to gather detailed information about server configurations and workload dependencies to ensure a smooth transition. The company requires a solution that automatically identifies servers and maps application dependencies without installing agents.
Which solution meets these requirements?
Configure the home AWS Region in AWS Migration Hub. Use AWS Systems Manager Agent to collect data from the on-premises servers.
Configure the home AWS Region in AWS Migration Hub. Deploy the AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Discovery Connector to collect data from the on-premises servers.
Use AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) to replicate servers. Use AWS Trusted Advisor to analyze the on-premises server configurations.
Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer data. Use AWS Config to track configuration changes on the on-premises servers.
Explanation
Answer B is correct because:
- AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Discovery Connector collects server configuration and dependency data without installing agents, meeting the requirement for agentless discovery.
- AWS Migration Hub serves as the central tool to track migration progress, which pairs with the Discovery Service.
Other options are incorrect because:
- A: AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM) requires agent installation, violating the requirement.
- C: AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) focuses on server replication, and Trusted Advisor provides optimization tips, not dependency mapping.
- D: Snowball Edge handles data transfer, and AWS Config tracks configuration changes but does not map dependencies.
Key Points: Use AWS Application Discovery Service (Agentless) with Migration Hub for agentless discovery and dependency mapping during migrations.
Answer
The correct answer is: B
