The web server and application server run on the same EC2 instance. The company wants to minimize changes during migration. Which migration strategy should the architect recommend?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Rehost using AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN)

Rehosting (lift-and-shift) moves the application as-is to EC2, requiring minimal changes. Replatforming would involve changes like using RDS. Refactoring would require code changes. Retiring is not applicable as the application is still needed.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Refactor the application into microservices on Amazon ECS

    Why it's wrong here

    Refactoring requires significant code changes, which is not minimal.

  • ✗
