Zorluk: Çok zorAssess and Select Migration Strategy (7 Rs)

An enterprise is planning to migrate its commercial underwriting application portfolio to AWS. A solutions architect is performing the initial portfolio assessment to determine the appropriate migration strategy (7 Rs) for the following application components:

1. Transactional Database: Runs on IBM Db2. The target is Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL to eliminate commercial licensing costs. This migration requires comprehensive schema conversion and modifications to SQL queries and stored procedures within the application code to handle database engine differences.
2. Web Portal Tier: Runs on IBM WebSphere Application Server on AIX. The business wants to containerize the application to run on Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate to reduce OS licensing costs, without modifying any underlying Java application code.
3. Legacy Archival System: Runs on a legacy version of Windows Server. The software requires a physical USB security dongle plugged into the host server to function. The vendor is out of business, and no virtual or software-based licensing option exists.
4. Internal Reporting Database: Runs on Microsoft SQL Server 2019 on Windows Server 2019. It has low utilization, and the company wants to move it to a managed database service on AWS with minimal administrative effort while maintaining the exact same database engine.

Which migration strategies should the solutions architect select for these components? (Select TWO.)

  1. Migrate the transactional database from IBM Db2 to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL using a Refactoring (Re-architecting) strategy.Cevap
  2. Retain the legacy archival system on-premises.Cevap
  3. C
    Migrate the transactional database from IBM Db2 to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL using a Replatforming strategy.
  4. D
    Rehost the legacy archival system by importing the Windows Server virtual machine into Amazon EC2.
  5. E
    Rehost the Web Portal Tier directly to Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate.

Cevap

The correct strategies are migrating the Db2 database to Aurora PostgreSQL using a Refactoring strategy, and retaining the legacy archival system on-premises.
The transactional database migration from IBM Db2 to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL is a heterogeneous database migration requiring schema conversion (using tools like AWS SCT) and code modifications to adapt to the PostgreSQL dialect, which qualifies as Refactoring (Re-architecting). The legacy archival system cannot be migrated to AWS because it relies on a physical USB security dongle, a hardware dependency that is not supported in the AWS cloud environment. Therefore, it must be retained on-premises.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the IBM Db2 to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL migration requirements.
Identified a database engine change (heterogeneous migration) requiring schema conversion and SQL code rewrites.
A migration that changes the database engine and requires rewriting application code or database schemas is classified as Refactoring (or Re-architecting), not Replatforming.
2
Evaluate the legacy archival system constraints regarding the physical USB security dongle.
Determined that physical USB hardware cannot be attached to Amazon EC2 and the software vendor is out of business.
Due to hard physical dependencies that cannot be replicated or modified, the system cannot run on AWS and must be Retained on-premises.
3
Evaluate the Web Portal Tier migration path from IBM WebSphere on AIX to Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate.
Classified this as Replatforming rather than Rehosting because it involves OS/architecture transition (AIX to Linux) and containerization.
Rehosting involves lifting and shifting VMs without modification. Containerizing a VM workload to run on Fargate constitutes Replatforming.
4
Synthesize the findings to select the correct migration strategy mappings.
Matched the Db2 migration to Refactoring and the legacy system to Retain.
These strategies align with AWS Migration Evaluator and Cloud Migration Factory patterns based on the technical and business constraints.
