A company is migrating to the cloud. It wants to evaluate the configurations of virtual machines in its existing data center environment to ensure that it can size new Amazon EC2 instances accurately. The company wants to collect metrics, such as CPU. memory, and disk utilization, and it needs an inventory of what processes are running on each instance. The company would also like to monitor network connections to map communications between servers.
Which would enable the collection of this data MOST cost effectively?
The AWS Application Discovery Service can help plan migration projects by collecting data about on-premises servers, such as configuration, performance, and network connections. The data collection agent is a lightweight software that can be installed on each server to gather this information. This option is more cost-effective than agentless discovery, which requires deploying a virtual appliance in the VMware environment, or using CloudWatch agent, which incurs additional charges for CloudWatch Logs. Scanning the servers over a VPN is not a valid option for AWS Application Discovery Service.Reference:What is AWS Application Discovery Service?,Data collection methods
