The migration team wants to use AWS Migration Hub to track the migration progress. Which approach should the team take to ensure successful tracking and minimize manual effort?
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
✓
Use AWS Application Discovery Service to discover dependencies and then use AWS Migration Hub to track the migration of each application.
AWS Application Discovery Service helps discover dependencies and collect data about on-premises servers, which is used to create a migration plan. AWS Migration Hub then tracks the migration progress of each application across multiple tools, automating tracking and minimizing manual effort. Option A is incorrect because Amazon CloudWatch dashboards monitor resource health but do not track migration progress or dependencies. Option B is incorrect because AWS Systems Manager is for operational management, not specifically for migration tracking. Option D is incorrect because manual spreadsheets are error-prone and require significant effort, defeating the purpose of using AWS tools for automation.
