[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A company is migrating its data center to the AWS Cloud and needs to complete the migration as quickly as possible. The company has many applications that are running on hundreds of VMware VMs in the data center. Each VM is configured with a shared Windows folder that contains common shared files. The file share is larger than 100 GB in size.

The company’s compliance team requires a change request to be fled and approved for every software installation and modification to each VM. The company has an AWS Direct Connect connection with 10 GB of bandwidth between AWS and the data center.

Which set of steps should the company take to complete the migration in the LEAST amount of time?

A. Use VM ImporvExport to create images of each VM. Use AWS Application Migration Service to manage and view the images. Copy the Windows file share data to an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system. After migration, remap the file share to the EFS file system.
B. Deploy the AWS Application Discovery Service agentless appliance to VMware vCenter. Review the portfolio of discovered VMs in AWS Migration Hub.
C. Deploy the AWS Application Migration Service agentless appliance to VMware vCenter. Copy the Windows file share data to a new Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. After migration, remap the file share on each VM to the FSx for Windows File Server file system.
C. Create and review a portfolio in AWS Migration Hub. Order an AWS Snowcone device. Deploy AWS Application Migration Service to VMware vCenter and export all the VMs to the Snowcone device. Copy all Windows file share data to the Snowcone device. Ship the Snowcone device to AWS. Use Application Migration Service to deploy all the migrated instances.
D. Deploy the AWS Application Discovery Service Agent and the AWS Application Migration Service Agent onto each VMware hypervisor directly. Review the portfolio in AWS Migration Hub. Copy each VM’s file share data to a new Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. After migration, remap the file share on each VM to the FSx for Windows File Server file system.

Selected Answer: C

C1 is correct. The AWS Application Migration Service (AMS) agentless appliance can quickly be deployed into the VMware environment via VMware vCenter. It simplifies migration by eliminating the need for installing agents on each individual VM, reducing time and complexity. Because AMS is agentless, you don’t need to install additional software on the VMs themselves, which aligns with the company's requirement to file and approve change requests for any software installation or modifications on VMs. By copying the shared Windows folder to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, the company can maintain a native Windows environment for file sharing. After migration, it will be easy to remap the file share from the VMs to the new FSx file system, which minimizes disruptions and downtime.

A combination of A and B is one option. In AWS, if there are five choices, the answer is usually two. In the case of multiple choice, there is only one answer from ABCD. I have never seen a pattern where there is only one answer from ABCDE.
