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?

A. B. C. D.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.
The tool that should be used in this scenario to simplify the migration process to generate AMIs periodically, schedule replications, and track progress is AWS Server Migration Service (SMS).
AWS Server Migration Service is a cloud-based service that helps migrate on-premises servers, virtual machines, and databases to AWS. SMS simplifies the migration process by automating the bulk of the migration tasks, including server replication, tracking, and coordinating the migration of multiple servers.
In this scenario, the company can use SMS to migrate their Windows virtual machines managed by Microsoft Hyper-V to AWS. SMS simplifies the migration process by allowing you to schedule replications of the virtual machines and track the progress of the migration. SMS also allows you to generate Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) periodically, which can be used to create new instances in case of a disaster or to scale up your environment.
AWS Migration Hub is a service that helps you monitor the progress of application migrations to the cloud. It does not directly migrate applications or servers.
AWS DataSync is a data transfer service that simplifies moving large amounts of data between on-premises storage systems and AWS. It is not designed to migrate virtual machines or servers.
AWS Database Migration Service is a tool used for migrating databases to AWS. It does not handle server or virtual machine migrations.
