An aerospace defense systems provider is planning to migrate its mission-critical flight monitoring and logistics workloads to AWS. The on-premises environment consists of:
* VMware vSphere virtual machines (VMs) running a mix of Linux and Windows.
* physical bare-metal servers running IBM AIX .
* physical bare-metal servers running CentOS .
The company's security compliance policy strictly forbids installing any third-party agents or software directly inside the guest operating systems of the virtualized VMware environment. Outbound internet access from the bare-metal network segment is prohibited, except through an authenticated on-premises forward proxy. The provider wants to gather configuration and performance utilization data for all workloads, along with process-level network dependency details for the CentOS servers. Finally, they require a centralized dashboard to track the migration status using both AWS Migration Service tools and their existing third-party migration tracking tool.
Which migration discovery and tracking strategy should a solutions architect recommend?
- ADeploy the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector as a virtual appliance in the VMware environment. Install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on all physical servers, including the CentOS and AIX systems, configuring them to route outbound traffic through the forward proxy. Use AWS Systems Manager Inventory to collect network dependency details. Register all discoveries in AWS Migration Hub, and use AWS Systems Manager to track third-party migration tool activities.
- BInstall the AWS Application Discovery Agent on the VMware VMs and the CentOS physical servers. Configure the CentOS agents to use the on-premises forward proxy for outbound communication. Use the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector to discover the AIX servers by connecting directly to their management interfaces. Perform all tracking using the AWS Application Discovery Service console, and configure a webhook to sync the data to AWS Migration Hub.
- Deploy the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector as a virtual appliance in the VMware environment. Install the AWS Application Discovery Agent on the CentOS physical servers, configured to route outbound traffic through the on-premises forward proxy. Manually import the configuration data of the AIX physical servers using the Application Discovery Service CSV template. Configure AWS Migration Hub to aggregate the discovery data and integrate the third-party migration tracking tool.Cevap
- DDeploy the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector to discover the VMware VMs and the CentOS physical servers. Perform a manual import using the Application Discovery Service CSV template for the AIX physical servers. Use AWS Systems Manager Distributor to deploy the third-party migration tracking tool across all environments, and utilize Amazon CloudWatch dashboards to track migration progress.
