Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional

Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions]

A company has several applications running in an on-premises data center. The data center runs a mix of Windows and Linux VMs managed by VMware vCenter.
A solutions architect needs to create a plan to migrate the applications to AWS. However, the solutions architect discovers that the document for the applications is not up to date and that there are no complete infrastructure diagrams. The company's developers lack time to discuss their applications and current usage with the solutions architect.
What should the solutions architect do to gather the required information?

  • A. Deploy the AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) connector using the OVA image on the VMware cluster to collect configuration and utilization data from the VMs.
  • B. Use the AWS Migration Portfolio Assessment (MPA) tool to connect to each of the VMs to collect the configuration and utilization data.
  • C. Install the AWS Application Discovery Service on each of the VMs to collect the configuration and utilization data.
  • D. Register the on-premises VMs with the AWS Migration Hub to collect configuration and utilization data.

Selected Answer: C
I would to say C correct, but this seems a old question. D is wrong cuz you dont need register the servers, the discover connector brings this data to migration Hub. Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq6ohCf6PBo https://docs.aws.amazon.com/application-discovery/latest/userguide/discovery-connector.html "We recommended that all customers currently using Discovery Connector transition to the new Agentless Collector. Customer's currently using Discovery Connector can continue to do so until Aug 31, 2023. After this date, data sent to AWS Application Discovery Service by Discovery Connector will not be processed. Going forward, Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector is the supported discovery tool for agentless data collection by AWS Application Discovery Service. "

Q: What data does the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Connector capture? The AWS Application Discovery Agentless Connector is delivered as an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) package that can be deployed to a VMware host. Once configured with credentials to connect to vCenter, the Discovery Connector collects VM inventory, configuration, and performance history such as CPU, memory, and disk usage and uploads it to Application Discovery Service data store.

A - Deploy SMS connector, then with Server Migration Service, you have automated, incremental and scheduled migrations towards AMI images which can be used to deploy EC2 instances. AWS SMS migrates VMware vSphere, Hyper-V and Azure VMs.

They are just in the planning phase so no SMS needed here. My vote would be - C (that is the close one even not accurate as we can collect information with agentless connectors)

A: it is incorrect because SMS is used to migrate servers not to collect data to plan the migration, in this case, the issue is: "What should the solutions architect do to GATHER!!! the required information. So, answer C is the correct because AWS Application Discovery Service is used to collect data using Discovery Connector for VMWare or Discovery Agent for VMware, Hyper-V or Physical Server
