Question

A company wants to migrate its website to AWS. The website uses containers that are deployed in an on-premises, self-managed Kubernetes cluster. All data for the website is stored in an on- premises PostgreSQL database. The company has decided to migrate the on-premises Kubernetes cluster to an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster. The EKS cluster will use EKS managed node groups with a static number of nodes. The company will also migrate the on-premises database to an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database. A solutions architect needs to estimate the total cost of ownership (TCO) for this workload before the migration. Which solution will provide the required TCO information?

Why each option

Estimate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for migrating an on-premises containerized application and PostgreSQL database to AWS EKS and RDS.

ARequest access to Migration Evaluator. Run the Migration Evaluator Collector and import theCorrect

AWS Migration Evaluator is a service designed to assess the current on-premises environment's cost and usage, providing a data-driven business case for migrating to AWS, including TCO estimates for the target AWS environment.

BLaunch AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) for the on-premises database. Generate

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is used for database migration, not for TCO estimation of an entire workload.

CInitialize AWS Application Migration Service. Add the on-premises servers as source servers.

AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is used for server migration and modernization, not primarily for TCO estimation before the migration.

DAccess the AWS Cloud Economics Center webpage to assess the AWS Cloud Value Framework.

The AWS Cloud Economics Center webpage provides general frameworks and whitepapers but does not offer a specific tool to generate a detailed, data-driven TCO estimate based on an existing on-premises workload like Migration Evaluator does.
