Quick Answer
The answer is AWS Migration Evaluator. This service is specifically designed to assess SAP source systems like ECC 6.0 on IBM Db2 and build a data-driven business case for migrating to SAP S/4HANA on AWS, analyzing licensing, usage, and infrastructure requirements that generic discovery tools miss. On the AWS Certified SAP on AWS Specialty PAS-C01 exam, this question tests your ability to distinguish between assessment tools and migration execution tools—a common trap is confusing AWS Migration Evaluator with AWS Application Discovery Service, which only handles server-level inventory without SAP-specific insights. Remember that for any SAP assessment and planning scenario, you need the tool that understands SAP licensing and system sizing, not just raw server data. Memory tip: think "Evaluator" for the "E" in SAP ECC—it evaluates before you migrate.
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 a legacy SAP ECC 6.0 system to SAP S/4HANA on AWS. The current database is IBM Db2. Which AWS service should be used to assess the source system and plan the migration?
AWS Migration Evaluator
It provides business case analysis for SAP migrations.
AWS Application Discovery Service
Why wrong: It discovers server dependencies, but not SAP-specific assessment.
AWS CloudEndure Migration
Why wrong: CloudEndure is for block-level replication, not assessment.
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
Why wrong: DMS is for migration execution, not assessment.

Correct answer & explanation
AWS Migration Evaluator
Option B is correct because AWS Migration Evaluator (formerly TSO Logic) provides data-driven business cases for migration, including SAP systems. Option A is wrong because AWS Application Discovery Service is for server-level discovery, not SAP-specific assessment. Option C is wrong because AWS DMS is for database migration, not assessment. Option D is wrong because AWS CloudEndure Migration is for lift-and-shift, not SAP-specific assessment.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
