Question
A company runs multiple workloads on virtual machines (VMs) in an on-premises data center. The company is expanding rapidly. The on-premises data center is not able to scale fast enough to meet business needs. The company wants to migrate the workloads to AWS. The migration is time sensitive. The company wants to use a lift-and-shift strategy for non-critical workloads. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)
Options
- AUse the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to collect data about the VMs.
- BUse AWS Application Migration Service. Install the AWS Replication Agent on the VMs.
- CComplete the initial replication of the VMs. Launch test instances to perform acceptance tests on
- DStop all operations on the VMs Launch a cutover instance.
- EUse AWS App2Container (A2C) to collect data about the VMs.
- FUse AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the VMs.

Explanation
AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) is the recommended tool for a lift-and-shift strategy, especially for time-sensitive migrations. It automates the replication of on-premises VMs to AWS, minimizing the effort required for migration and testing. Replication with AWS MGN: The AWS Replication Agent is installed on the VMs to continuously replicate data to AWS, allowing you to manage migration easily. Testing and Cutover: Initial replication allows for testing in AWS before performing the final cutover, ensuring that the migration process is smooth and data integrity is maintained. AWS Documentation: AWS MGN is recommended for migrating virtual machines to the cloud with minimal downtime and disruption.
