The correct answer is B. Use AWS Migration Hub and install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on the servers. Deploy. To rightsize resources and develop a migration plan for on-premises servers (physical/virtual, Windows/Linux, various databases) with no accurate inventory, use AWS Migration Hub with AWS Application Discovery Service agents.
Question
A company is planning to migrate to the AWS Cloud. The company hosts many applications on Windows servers and Linux servers. Some of the servers are physical, and some of the servers are virtual. The company uses several types of databases in its on-premises environment. The company does not have an accurate inventory of its on-premises servers and applications. The company wants to rightsize its resources during migration. A solutions architect needs to obtain information about the network connections and the application relationships. The solutions architect must assess the company's current environment and develop a migration plan. Which solution will provide the solutions architect with the required information to develop the migration plan?
Options
- AUse Migration Evaluator to request an evaluation of the environment from AWS. Use the AWS
- BUse AWS Migration Hub and install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on the servers. Deploy
- CUse AWS Migration Hub and run the AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector on
- DUse the AWS Migration Hub import tool to load the details of the company's on-premises

Why each option
To rightsize resources and develop a migration plan for on-premises servers (physical/virtual, Windows/Linux, various databases) with no accurate inventory, use AWS Migration Hub with AWS Application Discovery Service agents.
Migration Evaluator provides TCO analysis and high-level recommendations, but it does not gather the detailed application relationship and network connection data required for precise rightsizing and migration planning. AWS Cost Explorer is for post-migration cost analysis.
AWS Application Discovery Service (ADS) with agents installed on servers can collect comprehensive data, including system configuration, performance, running processes, network connections, and application dependencies for both Windows and Linux, physical and virtual servers. This detailed information is crucial for rightsizing and creating an accurate migration plan when an inventory is lacking, and it integrates with AWS Migration Hub for central tracking.
The AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector works for VMware vCenter environments and provides configuration and performance data, but it won't collect data from physical servers and may not offer the deep application-level network connection details that agents can provide for diverse environments.
The AWS Migration Hub import tool is for ingesting already collected data, not for performing the actual discovery and inventory collection that is needed when an accurate inventory is missing.
