AeroWing Logistics is planning a migration of its on-premises infrastructure to AWS. During the discovery phase, the migration team identifies two specific systems:
1. A legacy package-tracking utility that has been completely replaced by a newer system and is no longer used by any business unit.
2. A critical customer portal running on an on-premises web server. The team wants to move the portal to AWS while reducing database management overhead. They plan to migrate the self-managed database to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) without modifying the core application code.
Which two migration strategies should the company apply to these systems? (Select TWO.)
- ARehosting
- ReplatformingAnswer
- CRefactoring
- RetiringAnswer
- ERepurchasing
Answer
Replatforming and Retiring are the correct migration strategies.
The correct strategy for the unused package-tracking utility is Retiring, as it is no longer required and should be turned off. The correct strategy for the customer portal is Replatforming because it replaces the on-premises database server with a managed service (Amazon RDS) without altering the application's core code.
