Reveal correct answers
Correct answers: B, D
Explanation
To plan the cloud migration of a company's on-premises data center to AWS, the solutions architect should use the following tools and services: 1. **AWS Application Discovery Service**: This service helps in understanding the current environment by collecting and presenting configuration, usage, and behavior data from the on-premises servers. This information is crucial for planning the migration strategy. 2. **AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)**: AWS SMS simplifies and accelerates the migration of thousands of on-premises workloads to AWS. It automates, schedules, and tracks incremental replications of live server volumes, making it easier to coordinate large-scale server migrations. 3. **AWS Cloud Adoption Readiness Tool (CART)**: CART helps in assessing the organization's readiness for cloud migration. It provides a detailed report with actionable insights and recommendations, which is essential for planning and estimating cloud resource costs. These tools collectively provide a comprehensive approach to understanding the current environment, planning the migration, and estimating the associated costs.Discussion
