- A
Oracle Data Guard
Oracle Data Guard provides cross-database replication, allowing a standby database to be continuously synchronized with the source, enabling a switchover with minimal downtime.
- B
AWS Snowball Edge
Why wrong: AWS Snowball Edge is for large offline data transfer, not suitable for minimal downtime live migration.
- C
AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) converts the Oracle schema to Amazon RDS for Oracle, ensuring compatibility.
- D
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) performs live migration with continuous replication, minimizing downtime.
- E
AWS CloudEndure Migration
Why wrong: AWS CloudEndure Migration is for server migration, not database migration.
Question 1,429 of 1,733
Migrating Oracle Database to Amazon RDS for SAP with Minimal Downtime
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of technology. 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.
An SAP system administrator is planning to migrate an on-premises SAP ERP system to AWS. The system uses Oracle Database. Which THREE AWS services can be used to migrate the Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle with minimal downtime? (Choose 3)

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
✓
Oracle Data Guard
Options A, C, and D are correct for migrating an Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle with minimal downtime. A: Oracle Data Guard provides cross-database replication, allowing a standby database to be continuously synchronized with the source, enabling a switchover with minimal downtime. C: AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) converts the Oracle schema to Amazon RDS for Oracle, ensuring compatibility. D: AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) performs live migration with continuous replication, minimizing downtime. B is incorrect because AWS Snowball Edge is for large offline data transfer, not suitable for minimal downtime live migration. E is incorrect because AWS CloudEndure Migration is for server migration, not database 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.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: ACLs stop at the first match
ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
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.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Standard ACLs match source addresses.
- Extended ACLs can match source, destination, protocol and ports.
- The first matching ACL entry is used.
- There is usually an implicit deny at the end.
TExam Day Tips
- Check inbound versus outbound direction.
- Read the ACL from top to bottom.
- Look for a broader permit or deny above the intended line.
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
How this comes up in practice
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
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
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.
