   A healthcare company is migrating a patient records application to AWS. The application must be available during business hours with no more than 15 minutes of downtime. The migration team plans to use AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) for the cutover. What should the team configure to meet the downtime requirement?

   • APerform a lift-and-shift migration during a maintenance window and accept the downtime.
   • BUse AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to replicate the database and manually copy the application files.
   • CConfigure AWS MGN to launch a fully synced instance in the target account and use DNS cutover to switch traffic.
   • DUse AWS MGN's test mode to validate the migration, then perform the final cutover during off-peak hours.

   A financial services company is migrating a batch processing workload that runs for 4 hours every night. The workload is currently on a mainframe and has strict regulatory requirements for data residency: all data must remain in the eu-central-1 Region. The application code is written in COBOL and is tightly coupled to the mainframe's file system. The company has a mandate to reduce infrastructure costs but cannot change the application code. Which migration approach best meets the requirements?

   • ARehost the mainframe workload to a large Amazon EC2 instance in eu-central-1 and run the COBOL application in an emulator.
   • BRetire the mainframe workload and replace it with a new cloud-native application built on Amazon ECS.
   • CRefactor the COBOL application to Java and run it on AWS Lambda in eu-central-1.
   • DReplatform the workload to AWS Mainframe Modernization with a nightly schedule, running the COBOL code on managed infrastructure in eu-central-1.
