A company runs a legacy customer relationship management (CRM) application on a single Windows Server 2008 R2 instance in a colocation facility. The application uses a proprietary on-premises database and has no automated deployment pipeline. The company wants to move to AWS with minimal changes to the application code and no re-architecture effort. The database vendor does not offer a managed AWS service. Which migration strategy should the migration team use?

Relocate the application by using AWS Elastic Beanstalk to run the existing code.

Refactor the application into microservices and use Amazon RDS for the database.

Rehost the application and database onto Amazon EC2 instances using AWS Application Migration Service.

Repurchase the CRM by migrating to a SaaS-based CRM solution.

A company is planning to migrate a legacy application to AWS. The application has a hard dependency on a physical hardware dongle for licensing. The dongle is connected to the on-premises server via USB. The migration team wants to rehost the application to an Amazon EC2 instance. What is the most appropriate first step to address this dependency?

Proceed with the migration and attach a USB device to the EC2 instance using EC2 Serial Console.

Use AWS License Manager to track the software license and ignore the dongle.

Replatform the application to AWS Mainframe Modernization to avoid the dongle requirement.

Contact the software vendor to obtain a software-based license or a cloud-compatible licensing option.

A company is migrating a batch processing workload to AWS. The workload runs for 2 hours every day and is currently running on a dedicated on-premises server. The company wants to minimize the cost of running this workload in the cloud. Which AWS compute option is the most cost-effective for this workload?

An On-Demand Instance that is started and stopped by a schedule.

A Reserved Instance that is always running.

AWS Lambda with a 2-hour timeout.

A Spot Instance that is always running.

A company is evaluating the cost of migrating a workload to AWS. The workload currently runs on 20 on-premises servers with an average utilization of 10%. The company wants to reduce costs by right-sizing the instances in the cloud. Which migration strategy would best support this goal?

Retain the workload on-premises and only move the data to Amazon S3.

Replatform the servers to EC2 instances with smaller instance types based on actual utilization.

Rehost the servers to EC2 instances with the same specifications as the on-premises hardware.

Refactor the application to use AWS Lambda, which has no idle cost.
