Difficulty: HardAWS Marketplace

A financial services organization is planning to migrate its workloads to AWS. The organization currently owns unused perpetual licenses for a third-party database monitoring agent and also wants to purchase a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) analytics solution from the same software vendor. Which two of the following options describe how the organization can utilize AWS Marketplace to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. Deploying the database monitoring agent using the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model, which allows the use of existing licenses while paying only for the underlying AWS infrastructure resources.Answer
  2. Subscribing to the vendor's SaaS-based analytics dashboard through AWS Marketplace to consolidate the software transaction into a single monthly AWS bill.Answer
  3. C
    Leveraging AWS Marketplace to automatically apply operating system patches and application updates to the database monitoring agent running on Amazon EC2 instances.
  4. D
    Converting the licensing cost of the newly purchased SaaS dashboard into a capital expense (CapEx) to write off the asset value over multiple years.
  5. E
    Requesting that AWS technical support resolve internal application errors and configuration issues for the third-party database monitoring agent.

Answer

The organization can achieve its goals by deploying the database monitoring agent using the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model, which runs existing licenses on AWS infrastructure, and by subscribing to the SaaS-based analytics dashboard through AWS Marketplace, which consolidates software charges onto the monthly AWS invoice.
The correct options represent the primary capabilities of AWS Marketplace for hybrid software deployment. The Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model allows customers to migrate workloads to AWS using existing licenses, paying AWS only for the underlying infrastructure resources. Subscribing to SaaS products through AWS Marketplace consolidates third-party software costs onto a single AWS invoice, streamlining procurement.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the organization's requirement to reuse existing third-party perpetual licenses on AWS.
Identify that the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model in AWS Marketplace allows customers to run software utilizing licenses purchased outside of AWS, avoiding double-paying for licensing.
This determines how the database monitoring agent licensing is handled.
2
Analyze the requirement to purchase a new SaaS analytics solution while simplifying billing and procurement.
Identify that subscribing to SaaS solutions via AWS Marketplace consolidates vendor pricing and charges directly into the customer's monthly AWS bill.
This determines the mechanism for SaaS dashboard procurement and consolidated invoicing.
3
Evaluate the incorrect options against AWS security, billing, and support models.
Verify that customer-managed EC2 software patching belongs to the customer (Shared Responsibility), AWS usage is operational expenditure (OpEx), and third-party software troubleshooting remains the vendor's responsibility rather than AWS Support's.
This ensures the correctness of distractors and validates the linked misconceptions.
