A migration engineer is using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to migrate a Windows server from on-premises. The engineer runs the command above and sees the source server is in the "READY_FOR_TEST" state. What should the engineer do next?

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

Launch a test instance to validate the migration

The READY_FOR_TEST state indicates the initial replication is complete and a test instance can be launched. The next step is to launch a test instance to validate the migration. Cutting over immediately without testing is risky. Resuming data replication is for troubleshooting. Checking the recommended instance type is optional but not the next required step.

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 a test instance to validate the migration

    Why this is correct

    Correct. Testing is the standard next step after initial replication.

  • Perform the cutover to the AWS environment

    Why it's wrong here

    Cutover should only happen after successful testing.

  • Modify the source server's recommended instance type to a smaller size

    Why it's wrong here

    Instance type can be changed later; testing is priority.

  • Resume data replication from the source server

    Why it's wrong here

    Replication is already complete; no need to resume.
