SAP-C02 Q211 · Migration

Question

A company wants to migrate to AWS. The company is running thousands of VMs in a VMware ESXi environment. The company has no configuration management database and has little knowledge about the utilization of the VMware portfolio. A solutions architect must provide the company with an accurate inventory so that the company can plan for a cost-effective migration. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Accepted Answer

Option C is correct because it addresses every requirement with minimal operational overhead:

1. **Agentless collector on ESXi hypervisor**: Migration Evaluator's agentless collector deploys directly to the VMware ESXi hypervisor — not to each individual VM. This is critical because installing agents on thousands of VMs would be enormously labor-intensive, especially without a CMDB.

2. **No CMDB needed**: Migration Evaluator automatically discovers and inventories all VMs running on the hypervisor. It collects utilization data (CPU, memory, storage, network) without requiring prior knowledge of the environment.

3. **Built-in analytics**: Migration Evaluator provides its own dashboard and reporting to review collected data. There's no need to set up separate analytics tools like QuickSig
