Question

A company plans to migrate many VMs from an on-premises environment to AWS. The company requires an initial assessment of the on-premises environment before the migration, a visualization of the dependencies between applications that run on the VMs, and a report that provides an assessment of the on-premises environment. To get this information, the company has initiated a Migration Evaluator assessment request. The company has the ability to install collector software in its on-premises environment without any constraints Which solution will provide the company with the required information with the LEAST operational overhead?

Options

  • AInstall the AWS Application Discovery Agent on each on-premises VM. After the data collection
  • BInstall the Migration Evaluator Collector on each on-premises VM. After the data collection period
  • CSetup the AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector in the on-premises
  • DSet up the Migration Evaluator Collector in the on-premises environment. Install the AWS

Why each option

To assess on-premises VMs, visualize application dependencies, and generate a report for Migration Evaluator with the least operational overhead, install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on each VM.

AInstall the AWS Application Discovery Agent on each on-premises VM. After the data collectionCorrect

Installing the AWS Application Discovery Agent on each on-premises VM enables detailed data collection, including process-level information necessary for visualizing application dependencies, which is a key requirement. This agent-based approach provides the comprehensive data needed for a thorough assessment and report by Migration Evaluator.

BInstall the Migration Evaluator Collector on each on-premises VM. After the data collection period

While Migration Evaluator processes assessment requests, using a generic 'Migration Evaluator Collector' might not gather the specific application dependency data as comprehensively as the dedicated AWS Application Discovery Agent.

CSetup the AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector in the on-premises

The AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector gathers configuration and performance data but typically lacks the detailed information required for accurate application dependency mapping.

DSet up the Migration Evaluator Collector in the on-premises environment. Install the AWS

This option suggests installing both a Migration Evaluator Collector and the AWS Application Discovery Agent, which is redundant if the Agent alone provides the necessary dependency mapping data, making it more operationally complex than just using the Agent.
