}

Refer to the exhibit. A company is using AWS Migration Hub to track database migration tasks. The migration task for 'app-server-01' has failed. The progress update stream is 'DMS'. Which AWS service is most likely responsible for the migration failure?

⚠ Common exam trap

SAP-C02 often tests the ability to distinguish between migration services based on their progress update streams in AWS Migration Hub, and candidates may incorrectly assume that a failed task named 'app-server-01' implies a server migration service rather than a database migration service.

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

✓

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)

The progress update stream is explicitly 'DMS', which stands for AWS Database Migration Service. In AWS Migration Hub, the progress update stream identifies the migration tool that is reporting the task status. Since the stream is DMS, the task was created and is being executed by AWS Database Migration Service, making it the service responsible for the failure. Other services like Application Migration Service or Server Migration Service would report under different progress update streams (e.g., 'MGN' or 'SMS').

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

✗
AWS Application Migration Service (CloudEndure)
Why it's wrong here
Application Migration Service migrates servers, reporting to Migration Hub under the MGN progress update stream, not DMS. It is tempting because it handles large lift-and-shift migrations, and would be the answer had the stream shown MGN rather than DMS.
✓
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
Why this is correct
The progress update stream is named DMS, and Migration Hub attributes each task to the service that reported it. The failed task was therefore submitted by AWS Database Migration Service, making DMS the service responsible for the failure.
✗
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
Why it's wrong here
Server Migration Service replicates on-premises servers and reports under its own SMS progress update stream, so it cannot produce a DMS-tagged failure. It is tempting because SMS also migrates workloads into AWS, and would fit a stem whose stream read SMS.
✗
AWS CloudEndure Migration
Why it's wrong here
CloudEndure Migration is the former name of Application Migration Service, which reports under the MGN stream, not DMS. It is tempting because CloudEndure performed agent-based server replication, and would be correct if the progress update stream were MGN.
