INTRODUCTION
This week will be all about mobilizing the migration. You will learn the methods and tools that are very important to fine-tune your migration plan. Topics will include preparing your team and applications for migration, using services such as the AWS Application Discovery Service, and using the AWS Partner Network (APN) to build a great migration strategy. Also, you will cover the AWS Management and Governance such as AWS Control Tower and AWS Landing Zone, which are essential for establishing a secure and reliable groundwork for migrating.
Objectives of Learning:
- Prepare activities to migrate
- Assess other methods of migration
- Mobilization phase in migration learn about and define it
WEEK 3 QUIZ
1. Which service is part of AWS Management and Governance?
- Amazon Redshift
- Amazon DynamoDB
- AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
- Amazon CloudWatch (CORRECT)
Correct: Get up and running with flying colors: Use an Amazon CloudWatch observatory in order to speed and govern environments around itself for AWS resources and applications hosted on cloud as well as in-house.
2. What does AWS Control Tower do?
- Create a single well-organized AWS account
- Set up and govern a secure multi-account AWS environment (CORRECT)
- Automate the creation and destruction of your EC2 instances
- Provide scaling of storage capacity through Amazon Simple Storage Service
Correct: AWS Control Tower makes it easy to create and manage a secure landing zone for multiple accounts on AWS. This landing zone is built using AWS Organizations.
3. What is the goal of the mobilize phase in a migration?
- Migrate your applications
- Migrate your data and evaluate your applications
- Create a migration plan and refine your business case (CORRECT)
- Create mobile-compatible applications to prepare for modernization
Correct: As much as the prime motive of the mobilize phase is the actual business migrating applications, it also is a means to set up the equipment, processes, and culture that are needed in order to speed large-scale migration efforts.
4. Which service automatically collects and presents detailed information about application dependencies and utilization?
- AWS CloudTrail
- AWS Direct Connect
- AWS Application Discovery Service (CORRECT)
- Amazon Relational Database Service
Correct: AWS Application Discovery Service is assisting enterprise clients in planning their migration projects to develop their on-premises information centers for harvesting data and insights.
5. What is a requirement for doing an agentless installation of the AWS Application Discovery Service Agent?
- Using VMware vCenter (CORRECT)
- Using Lambda functions
- Using serverless servers on premises
- Using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances
Correct: AWS Agentless Discovery Connector aliases to Discovery Connector, indeed captures information of types from VMware VIRTURAL MACHINES (VMs) for this appears to be a VMware-appliance capable of doing that. Distributing this as a VM appliance by installation within the VMware vCenter Server environment accomplished using an OVA file format.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, week three of this course has witnessed a truly concentrated focus on the mobilize key phase of migrating. Participants learnt more about the tools and techniques needed to execute a credible migration plan. In preparing teams and applications for migration, attention has been given to key services such as the AWS Application Discovery Service. And, participants explored the importance of the AWS Partner Network (APN) as a central element of a successful migration strategy.
This section ended up exploring AWS Management and Governance tools like AWS Control Tower and AWS Landing Zone to utilize maximum efficiency in the process of migration without compromising security and reliability in the entire process. Since they are now fully aware of the needs of mobilizing, they are in an incredibly favorable position to understand and thus respond to the rather turgid action of application migration and to care for smooth and secure transition to AWS.
