Answer options:

Create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of each VM.

Install the AWS Replication Agent on the source VMs.

Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway on-premises.

Configure a VPN connection to AWS.

How to approach this question

Identify the mechanism MGN uses to replicate data.

Full Answer

B.Install the AWS Replication Agent on the source VMs.✓ Correct

Install the AWS Replication Agent on the source VMs.

AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) uses an agent-based approach. You must install the AWS Replication Agent on the source servers. The agent continuously replicates block-level data to a staging area in your AWS account.

Common mistakes

Confusing MGN (agent-based) with agentless discovery tools.
