B. AWS Direct Connect C. AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) "AWS Direct Connect is a networking service that provides an alternative to using the internet to connect to AWS. Using AWS Direct Connect, data that would have previously been transported over the internet is delivered through a private network connection between your facilities and AWS. In many circumstances, private network connections can reduce costs, increase bandwidth, and provide a more consistent network experience than internet-based connections. All AWS services, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), and Amazon DynamoDB can be used with AWS Direct Connect." https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/faqs/?nc=sn&loc=6

B. AWS Direct Connect: AWS Direct Connect enables the company to establish a dedicated network connection between their on-premises data center and AWS. This dedicated connection can provide higher bandwidth and lower latency than using the public internet. It helps to improve the data transfer speed and reliability during migration. C. AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS): AWS SMS is a service that simplifies and automates the process of migrating on-premises virtual machines (VMs) to Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud. It allows the company to quickly and efficiently migrate their existing virtualized workloads to AWS without the need for manual intervention.

B. AWS Direct Connect C. AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS)

Though I don't love Direct Connect, as that is a choice more in line with *preserving* an existing data center rather than replacing it, though it makes sense this would first be required to gradually make a transition.

The correct answer is B and C. AWS Direct Connect can provide a dedicated network connection between the company's data center and the AWS Cloud, which can help to accelerate migration by providing a more reliable and secure connection. AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) can automate the process of migrating virtualized servers from a company's data center to the AWS Cloud. Amazon Connect is a cloud-based contact center service and Amazon Route 53 is a domain name system (DNS) web service. AWS Organizations is a service to help manage multiple AWS accounts. While these services can be useful in managing a company's infrastructure, they are not directly related to accelerating migration from a data center to the AWS Cloud.

BC is the answer.

B. AWS Direct Connect C. AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) AWS Direct Connect is a service that enables the company to establish a dedicated network connection from its data center to AWS. This connection can be used to transfer data between the company's data center and the AWS Cloud, providing a more reliable, lower-latency way to move large amounts of data. AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is a service that automates the process of migrating on-premises servers to the AWS Cloud. It can help the company to quickly and efficiently migrate large numbers of servers to the AWS Cloud, with minimal downtime. SMS allows to automate the replication of an entire on-premises infrastructure to the cloud and also allows to schedule the migration and monitor the progress. By using these two services together, the company can accelerate its migration to the AWS Cloud, by establishing a dedicated, high-speed connection between its data center and the AWS Cloud and by automating the process of migrating servers to the AWS Cloud.

BC Agreed
