Why each option

To estimate the costs for running existing on-premises infrastructure in the AWS Cloud before migration, a company should use the AWS Pricing Calculator.

AAWS Pricing CalculatorCorrect

The AWS Pricing Calculator allows users to estimate the cost of running services in AWS by modeling their existing workloads and choosing appropriate AWS services, helping to predict expenses for a cloud migration.

BAWS Well-Architected Framework

The AWS Well-Architected Framework provides best practices for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, cost-optimized, and sustainable cloud systems, but it doesn't directly provide cost estimations for on-premises workloads.
