Question #882
A large enterprise is planning to migrate its hybrid IT environment, which includes on-premises physical servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows Server, along with containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes, and databases including PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server. The environment has complex interdependencies with legacy systems hosted in a colocation facility and third-party SaaS applications. The existing documentation is outdated and lacks details on current resource utilization. The solutions architect must assess the existing infrastructure, identify dependencies, and provide a detailed cost estimate for the AWS migration.
Which combination of AWS services or tools should the solutions architect use to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
AWS Application Discovery Service
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
AWS X-Ray
AWS Cloud Adoption Readiness Tool (CART)
AWS Trusted Advisor
AWS Migration Hub
Explanation
AWS Application Discovery Service (A) is essential for discovering on-premises servers, configurations, and dependencies, especially with outdated documentation. AWS Migration Hub (F) provides a centralized view to track migration progress and aggregate data from other tools. AWS Cloud Adoption Readiness Tool (D) assists in assessing organizational readiness, including cost estimation and migration planning.
Other options are incorrect: AWS Server Migration Service (B) focuses on VM migration, not physical servers. AWS X-Ray (C) is for application tracing post-migration. AWS Trusted Advisor (E) optimizes existing AWS resources, not on-premises environments. Key points: Use discovery tools for assessment, Migration Hub for tracking, and readiness tools for cost/planning.
