Explanation

AWS App2Container is a command-line tool that helps containerize existing Java and .NET applications running on-premises or on virtual machines, with minimal refactoring. By using Amazon EKS, the company benefits from a managed Kubernetes service, which significantly reduces the operational overhead compared to managing Kubernetes on EC2. Amazon RDS for SQL Server provides a fully managed SQL Server database engine with automated backups, patching, and high availability through Multi-AZ deployments. This eliminates the need for the company to manage database infrastructure and software manually. Overall, option A provides the most streamlined and managed approach for both the application and database layers with the least operational effort.
