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 Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
Options C and D are the correct AWS services for migrating an Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle with minimal downtime. Option A (Oracle Data Guard) is not an AWS service; it is an Oracle database feature and does not meet the requirement of being an AWS service. Option B (AWS Snowball Edge) is for offline data transfer, not live migration. Option E (AWS CloudEndure Migration) is for server migration, not database migration. AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) ensures schema compatibility, and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) performs continuous replication to minimize downtime.
