A company runs multiple workloads in its on-premises data center.

The most suitable solution for the company’s requirements is to set the home AWS Region in AWS Migration Hub and use AWS Application Discovery Service to collect data about the on-premises servers. This solution will enable the company to gather usage and configuration data of its on-premises servers and workloads, and plan a migration to AWS.

AWS Migration Hub is a service that simplifies and accelerates migration tracking by aggregating migration status information into a single console. Users can view the discovered servers, group them into applications, and track the migration status of each application from the Migration Hub console in their home Region.The home Region is the AWS Region where users store their migration data, regardless of which Regions they migrate into1.

AWS Application Discovery Service is a service that helps users plan their migration to AWS by collecting usage and configuration data about their on-premises servers and databases. Application Discovery Service is integrated with AWS Migration Hub and supports two methods of performing discovery: agentless discovery and agent-based discovery. Agentless discoverycan be performed by deploying the Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector through VMware vCenter, which collects static configuration data and utilization data for virtual machines (VMs) and databases.Agent-based discovery can be performed by deploying the AWS Application Discovery Agent on each ofthe VMs and physical servers, which collects static configuration data, detailed time-series system-performance information, inbound and outbound network connections, and processes that are running2.

The other options are not correct because they do not meet the requirements or are not relevant for the use case. Using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to create the relevant templates and using AWS Trusted Advisor to collect data about the on-premises servers is not correct because this solution is not suitable for collecting usage and configuration data of on-premises servers and workloads.AWS SCT is a tool that helps users convert database schemas and code objects from one database engine to another, such as from Oracle to PostgreSQL3.AWS Trusted Advisor is a service that provides best practice recommendations for cost optimization, performance, security, fault tolerance, and service limits4. Using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to create the relevant templates and using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to collect data about the on-premises servers is not correct because this solution is not suitable for collecting usage and configuration data of on-premises servers and workloads. As mentioned above, AWS SCT is a tool that helps users convert database schemas and code objects from one database engine to another.AWS DMS is a service that helps users migrate relational databases, non-relational databases, and other types of data stores to AWS with minimal downtime5.
