This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of migration. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company is migrating an SAP Business Suite system to AWS. The source database is Oracle. The target is Amazon RDS for Oracle. Which AWS service should be used to automate the schema conversion and data migration?
AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
Why wrong: SCT converts schema but does not migrate data.
Both AWS SCT and AWS DMS
SCT for schema conversion and DMS for data migration.
AWS Application Discovery Service
Why wrong: It is for discovery, not conversion or migration.
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
Why wrong: DMS migrates data but does not convert schema.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Both AWS SCT and AWS DMS
Option D is correct because AWS SCT can convert the Oracle schema to Amazon RDS for Oracle, and AWS DMS can migrate the data with minimal downtime. Option A is wrong because SCT alone does not migrate data. Option B is wrong because DMS alone does not handle schema conversion. Option C is wrong because AWS Application Discovery Service is for discovery, not migration.
Key principle: ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
Why it's wrong here
SCT converts schema but does not migrate data.
Both AWS SCT and AWS DMS
Why this is correct
SCT for schema conversion and DMS for data migration.
Related concept
Standard ACLs match source addresses.
AWS Application Discovery Service
Why it's wrong here
It is for discovery, not conversion or migration.
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
Why it's wrong here
DMS migrates data but does not convert schema.
Common exam traps
ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.
Detailed technical explanation
ACL questions test precision: source, destination, protocol, port and direction. A generally correct ACL can still fail if it is applied on the wrong interface or in the wrong direction.
Key takeaway
ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
What to study next
Review ACL processing order, placement rules (standard near destination, extended near source), and inbound vs outbound direction. Study wildcard masks and implicit deny. Then practise related PAS-C01 ACL questions on filtering logic and placement.
