Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 700 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
Question #: 700
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions]

A company has five physical data centers in specific locations around the world. Each data center has hundreds of physical servers with a mix of Windows and
Linux-based applications and database services. Each data center also has an AWS Direct Connect connection of 10 Gbps to AWS with a company-approved
VPN solution to ensure that data transfer is secure. The company needs to shut down the existing data centers as quickly as possible and migrate the servers and applications to AWS.
Which solution meets these requirements?

  • A. Install the AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) connector onto each physical machine. Use the AWS Management Console to select the servers from the server catalog, and start the replication. Once the replication is complete, launch the Amazon EC2 instances created by the service.
  • B. Install the AWS DataSync agent onto each physical machine. Use the AWS Management Console to configure the destination to be an AMI, and start the replication. Once the replication is complete, launch the Amazon EC2 instances created by the service.
  • C. Install the CloudEndure Migration agent onto each physical machine. Create a migration blueprint, and start the replication. Once the replication is complete, launch the Amazon EC2 instances in cutover mode.
  • D. Install the AWS Application Discovery Service agent onto each physical machine. Use the AWS Migration Hub import option to start the replication. Once the replication is complete, launch the Amazon EC2 instances created by the service.

The question is outdated. Now the recommended solution from AWS is Application Migration Service. https://aws.amazon.com/application-migration-service/

Exactly....!! AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is the primary migration service recommended for lift-and-shift migrations to the AWS Cloud. Customers who currently use CloudEndure Migration or AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) are encouraged to switch to MGN for future migrations.

Selected Answer: C
To migrate physical servers you need CloudEdure https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/field-notes-choosing-a-rehost-migration-tool-cloudendure-or-aws-sms/ You can combine both Cloud Edure with SMS if there is a combination with virtual machines.

Only C will work for migration lift and shift physical servers. Question is outdated - SMS is no longer recommended and it used to work only on Vmware/hyper-v/azure virtual machines. Cloudendure is MGN now - so the correct answer if you see this in the exam is Application Migration Service. (MGN)

Well, MGN is replacing AWS Server Migration Services & CloudEndure Migration. So the question does not make sense for the time being. C would be the best fit but it wont show up in the exam. It is outdated (based on material from Stephane Maarek).

Selected Answer: A
SMS is currently supported. SMS is named as MGN because of few improvements & changes in its process. AWS still does not recommend CloudEndure currently. please check their website. "AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is the primary migration service recommended for lift-and-shift migrations to the AWS Cloud. Customers who currently use CloudEndure Migration or AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) are encouraged to switch to MGN for future migrations."

SMS is meant for migration of Virtual machines to AWS whereas Cloud Endure can be used for Physical, Virtual or Cloud Server. Hence C is correct. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/field-notes-choosing-a-rehost-migration-tool-cloudendure-or-aws-sms/

If you reading this, in 2021, answer is A. Read the second line here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/mgn/latest/ug/what-is-application-migration-service.html "AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is a highly automated lift-and-shift (rehost) solution that simplifies, expedites, and reduces the cost of migrating applications to AWS. It enables companies to lift-and-shift a large number of physical, virtual, or cloud servers"

MGN is not SMS but new AWS flavoured version of cloudendure. So it is C :-) Amazon made acquisition of cloudendure some time ago.
