SAP-C02 Practice Question: Accelerate Workload Migration and Modernization
A company is using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to migrate hundreds of on-premises servers to AWS. After the migration, some servers fail a health check. What is the most efficient way to remediate the failed servers?

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
✓
Launch test instances from MGN, diagnose the issues, then update the source servers and perform a final cutover.
It follows the recommended MGN workflow for remediation: launch test instances to identify issues, fix them on the source server, and then perform a final cutover. Option B is inefficient as it restarts the entire replication and cutover process without testing. Option C is incorrect because restoring from a backup AMI is not part of the MGN migration process and does not allow iterative fixes. Option D is wrong because CloudEndure Migration is the former name of MGN and is not a separate service for re-migration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Launch test instances from MGN, diagnose the issues, then update the source servers and perform a final cutover.
Why this is correct
Test instances enable safe troubleshooting before final cutover.
- ✗
Rerun the MGN replication and perform a new cutover.
Why it's wrong here
This restarts the entire migration for those servers.
- ✗
Restore the servers from the latest AMI and re-run the health check.
Why it's wrong here
This does not address root causes and may waste time.
- ✗
Use AWS CloudEndure Migration to re-migrate the servers.
Why it's wrong here
CloudEndure is now part of MGN; using it separately does not help.
