Question 14
Domain 4: Accelerate Workload Migration and ModernizationAn organization is selecting tools to migrate existing workloads to AWS. Which action best aligns with the stated requirement for securing the migration process?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When using workload migration tools, security controls must be applied to those tools as part of the migration approach. The key requirement is to secure the migration mechanism itself, not just the source or target environment. — AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Professional_Exam-Guide.txt
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Focus on securing only the destination AWS environment after the migration is complete.
Security methods must be applied to migration tools during the migration process, not only after completion.
B. Apply appropriate security methods to the migration tools used for the workload move.
The source material explicitly states that appropriate security methods must be applied to migration tools. Because the question asks what action aligns with securing the migration process, protecting the tools used to perform the migration is the required choice.
C. Rely on the migration tools' default settings without adding security controls.
The requirement is to apply appropriate security methods to migration tools, not assume defaults are sufficient.
D. Secure the source servers only, because migration tools inherit that protection automatically.
The requirement applies directly to migration tools; protection of source servers alone does not satisfy it.
