A big retail company has owned lots of on-premises servers. In order to design a disaster recovery plan in the Cloud, the company plans to migrate its major servers to the AWS ap-southeast-2 region. The servers are deployed in Windows virtual machines managed by Microsoft Hyper-V. Your team lead wants to use an AWS tool to simplify the migration process to generate AMIs periodically. Also, the tool can schedule replications and track the progress. Which tool should you use to meet the need?

Answer options:

A.AWS Migration Hub
B.AWS Server Migration Service
C.AWS DataSync
D.AWS Database Migration Service

Correct Answer – B
For on-premises virtual machines in Microsoft Hyper-V/SCVMM, AWS Server Migration Service is appropriate to automate the migration to AWS by creating AMI ready for deployment on Amazon EC2.
Option A is incorrect: Because AWS Migration Hub is a single place to manage migrations. However, it is only supported in US West (Oregon).
Option B is CORRECT: Server Migration Service is suitable for this scenario. For its details, refer to
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/server-migration-service/latest/userguide/application-migration.html.
Option C is incorrect: Because AWS DataSync is used to transfer data from on-premises to S3 or EFS, which is not suitable for this case.
Option D is incorrect: Because Database Migration Service is a tool designed for database migration rather than virtual machines.
