Why each option
To migrate 60 on-premises .NET Framework applications running on Windows to AWS with minimal migration time, no code changes, and no infrastructure management, AWS Elastic Beanstalk is the most suitable platform. The Windows Web Application Migration Assistant can facilitate packaging these existing applications for deployment to Elastic Beanstalk, which is a fully managed platform as a service.
"Refactor the applications" contradicts the requirement for "no application code changes" and would increase migration time.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) that supports .NET applications on Windows Server, fulfilling the requirement for no infrastructure management. The Windows Web Application Migration Assistant is designed to help package existing IIS web applications for deployment to AWS with minimal to no application code changes, thus minimizing migration time.
Migrating applications to Amazon EC2 instances would require the company to manage the underlying Windows Server infrastructure, which contradicts the requirement for "no infrastructure management."
"Refactor the applications" contradicts the requirement for "no application code changes" and would increase migration time.
Concept tested: Lift-and-shift migration, PaaS, .NET application migration.
