A manufacturing company plans to migrate its on-premises VMware vCenter environment, which hosts 500 virtual machines, to AWS. To plan the migration, the company needs to collect server configuration, CPU/memory utilization, and disk I/O performance data to estimate sizing and run cost assessments. The company also needs to track the migration progress directly within AWS Migration Hub. The company's security policy strictly prohibits the installation of any software agents on the guest operating systems of the virtual machines. Which action should a solutions architect recommend to discover the on-premises servers while complying with the security policy?
- Deploy the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector as a virtual appliance in the VMware vCenter environment to gather VM metadata and utilization data.Cevap
- BInstall the AWS Application Discovery Agent on all virtual machines using a group policy object or automated shell scripts.
- CDeploy the AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) replication agent on the vCenter host to automatically discover the VM inventory and map dependencies.
- DOrder an AWS Snowball Edge device to run the Discovery Connector locally and physically transfer the vCenter database to AWS.
Cevap
Deploy the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector as a virtual appliance in the VMware vCenter environment to gather VM metadata and utilization data.
Deploying the AWS Application Discovery Agentless Collector as an OVA template in the VMware vCenter environment allows the solutions architect to gather VM metadata, disk I/O, and CPU/memory utilization statistics directly from vCenter APIs. This completely avoids installing any agents on the guest operating systems, adhering to the strict compliance policy while providing all necessary data for tracking and migration planning in AWS Migration Hub.
