Topic #: 1

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

A company wants to migrate an application to Amazon EC2 from VMware Infrastructure that runs in an on-premises data center. A solutions architect must preserve the software and configuration settings during the migration.

What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

A. Configure the AWS DataSync agent to start replicating the data store to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. Use the SMB share to host the VMware data store. Use VM Import/Export to move the VMs to Amazon EC2.
B. Use the VMware vSphere client to export the application as an image in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) format. Create an Amazon S3 bucket to store the image in the destination AWS Region. Create and apply an IAM role for VM Import. Use the AWS CLI to run the EC2 import command.
C. Configure AWS Storage Gateway for files service to export a Common Internet File System (CIFS) share. Create a backup copy to the shared folder. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and create an AMI from the backup copy. Launch an EC2 instance that is based on the AMI.
D. Create a managed-instance activation for a hybrid environment in AWS Systems Manager. Download and install Systems Manager Agent on the on-premises VM. Register the VM with Systems Manager to be a managed instance. Use AWS Backup to create a snapshot of the VM and create an AMI. Launch an EC2 instance that is based on the AMI.

Selected Answer: B

The correct answer is B. Use the VMware vSphere client to export the application as an image in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) format. Create an Amazon S3 bucket to store the image in the destination AWS Region. Create and apply an IAM role for VM Import. Use the AWS CLI to run the EC2 import command. This approach allows the solutions architect to export the application as an image in OVF format, which preserves the software and configuration settings, and then import it into Amazon EC2 using the EC2 import command.

Option A is incorrect because it uses AWS DataSync and FSx for Windows File Server to replicate the data store, but it doesn't preserve the software and configuration settings of the application. Option C is incorrect because it uses AWS Storage Gateway to export a CIFS share, but it doesn't preserve the software and configuration settings of the application. Option D is incorrect because it uses AWS Systems Manager and AWS Backup to create a snapshot of the VM, but it doesn't preserve the software and configuration settings of the application.

Selected Answer: B

A = SMB share cannot host VMware datastore. Also, installing agent modify configuration settings B = correct C = not clear how the backup copy is created and what format is used to allow then creating an AMI from it D = hybrid activation allows SSM to manage on-premise / other cloud VM but doesn't enable AWS Backup. This instead requires a backup gateway to backup VMware environment https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/backup-and-restore-on-premises-vmware-virtual-machines-using-aws-backup/

The only thing that is missing from the B answer is that the OVF file has to be transformed to a OVA file : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html.

what the B is wrong is that the VM format, should be OVA or VMDK or VHD, not OVF

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html Prerequisites Create an Amazon S3 bucket for storing the exported images or choose an existing bucket. The bucket must be in the Region where you want to import your VMs. For more information about S3 buckets, see the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Create an IAM role named vmimport. For more information, see Required service role. If you have not already installed the AWS CLI on the computer you'll use to run the import commands, see the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.
