A global agricultural technology platform is preparing to migrate its core crop-yield analysis and logistics coordination system to AWS. The on-premises infrastructure includes:
* VMware vSphere VMs running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Windows Server. These VMs host the API layers and distributed processing nodes. The team requires deep mapping of network dependencies (TCP connections) between these servers to group them into application stacks.
* bare-metal servers running Oracle Solaris, hosting legacy databases and proprietary data processing engines. These servers are located in a highly secure zone with no outbound internet connectivity, and the OS is not supported by the AWS Application Discovery Agent.
All outbound traffic from the VMware vSphere environment must go through an on-premises HTTP proxy. The platform team wants to use AWS Migration Hub as the single pane of glass to plan the migration, group servers, and track the migration status of these workloads.
Which combination of discovery mechanisms and tracking setup should a solutions architect recommend to satisfy these requirements?
- Install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on the VMware vSphere VMs, configuring the agents to communicate via the on-premises HTTP proxy. For the bare-metal Solaris servers, manually collect configuration metadata and import it into AWS Migration Hub using a CSV file. Group the discovered assets into applications within Migration Hub, and track migration status using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) or compatible third-party tools integrated with Migration Hub.Cevap
- BDeploy the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector on VMware vCenter to discover the vSphere VMs and map their TCP network connections. Install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on the bare-metal Solaris servers, configuring a local port forwarder to route the discovery data through the RHEL VMs' HTTP proxy. Group the assets in AWS Systems Manager Application Manager and track migration status there.
- CDeploy the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector on VMware vCenter. For the bare-metal Solaris servers, establish a temporary IPSec VPN connection to AWS and install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on each server to stream discovery data. Group the servers into applications in AWS Migration Hub, and write custom AWS Lambda functions to query the Systems Manager Inventory API to update migration status.
- DInstall the AWS Application Discovery Agent on all VMware vSphere VMs and the bare-metal Solaris servers, using the on-premises HTTP proxy for all outbound agent traffic. Group the discovered assets into applications in AWS Migration Hub. Track the migration status using AWS DataSync to monitor real-time virtual machine replication progress.
