Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner topic 1 question 17 discussion

Answer is D: Consulting Partners is not a AWS service, it is a collaboration of third parties

AWS Partner Network (APN) Consulting Partners help customers design, architect, build, migrate, and manage workloads and applications on Amazon Web Services. https://d1.awsstatic.com/partner-network/APN_Consulting-Benefits_Brochure-Digital.pdf

the first answer come in my mind is sth like Technical account manager but it is not an option here and B looks the closest

AWS Consulting Partners

AWS Managed Services

AWS Consulting Partners are professional services firms that can help companies of all sizes design, architect, build, migrate, and manage their workloads and applications on AWS. They have the experience and expertise to guide companies through the migration process and ensure a successful transition to the AWS Cloud.

Correct answer is B check amazon's official managed services faq here under this question How do AWS Partners and AWS Managed Services work together? AWS Managed Services focuses on infrastructure management and creating scale through automation. We work closely with AWS certified partners in the majority of our customer engagements where they fill several areas of the customers end-to-end cloud solution not provided by AWS Managed Services such as migration consulting and application management. Customers looking for a single vendor to provide both application and infrastructure management are encouraged to contact one of our AWS Managed Service Providers.

AWS Consulting Partners are part of the AWS Partner Network (APN) and specialize in helping companies migrate workloads to AWS, especially when the company lacks in-house expertise. These partners provide guidance, best practices, and hands-on assistance in cloud adoption and migration strategies. AWS Trusted Advisor provides recommendations on best practices for using AWS but does not specifically help with migration or hands-on assistance. AWS Artifacts is a portal that provides compliance-related documents and reports; it is not related to migration. AWS Managed Services helps manage AWS infrastructure after it is set up but does not assist in the initial migration process. Thus, AWS Consulting Partners is the most appropriate option to help with AWS migration for a company lacking AWS Cloud expertise.

Answer should be B https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/introducing-aws-managed-services/ AWS Consulting Partner is part of AWS Managed Services

AWS Managed Services (AMS) is an enterprise service that provides *ongoing* management of your AWS infrastructure.

AWS Managed Services (AMS) helps you adopt AWS at scale and operate more efficiently and securely. We leverage standard AWS services and offer guidance and execution of operational best practices with specialized automations, skills, and experience that are contextual to your environment and applications.

B is the right option

non of provided... For a company lacking expertise in AWS Cloud computing, AWS offers several services and features to assist with migration. One of the most prominent services specifically designed to facilitate migration is the AWS Migration Hub. AWS Migration Hub provides a central location to plan and execute application migrations across multiple AWS and partner solutions. It allows you to track the progress of application migrations from a single console, simplifying the migration process and providing visibility into the status of each migration task. Additionally, AWS Migration Hub integrates with other AWS services like AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) to streamline and automate various aspects of the migration process. By leveraging AWS Migration Hub, the company can benefit from guided migration workflows, centralized tracking, and access to migration tools and resources, even without extensive expertise in AWS Cloud computing.

The best answer here is B. AWS Consulting Partners. Here's a breakdown of why the other options aren't the most suitable: A. AWS Trusted Advisor: This service provides recommendations for optimizing your AWS environment across areas like cost, performance, and security. While helpful, it doesn't directly address the lack of cloud expertise needed for a comprehensive migration. C. AWS Artifacts: This service focuses on accessing compliance reports and agreements related to AWS. It's not designed for assisting migrations. D. AWS Managed Services: This service helps you manage your AWS infrastructure on an ongoing basis. While useful post-migration, it doesn't provide the initial guidance needed for the migration process itself.
