Which combination of steps should the company take to migrate to AWS while minimizing downtime and operational impact?
(Choose two.)
Use new Amazon EC2 instances and reinstall all application code.
Use AWS SMS to migrate the virtual machines.
Use AWS Storage Gateway to migrate the data to cloud-native storage.
Use AWS Snowball to migrate the data.
Use AWS SMS to copy the infrequently accessed data from the NAS.
Explanations:
Reinstalling application code on new EC2 instances would be time-consuming, involve substantial reconfiguration, and cause downtime.
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) efficiently migrates virtual machines with minimal downtime, preserving configurations.
AWS Storage Gateway facilitates data migration for archival data with low operational impact, providing instant access to stored data.
AWS Snowball is more suitable for physically transferring large datasets but would disrupt ongoing access and require more downtime.
AWS SMS is not used to copy NAS data; it focuses on virtual machine migration, not migrating NAS archival data efficiently.
If I’m not mistaken, the answer is:
Use AWS SMS to migrate the virtual machines.
