A company is planning to migrate an on-premises data center to AWS. The company currently hosts the data center on Linux-based VMware VMs. A solutions architect must collect information about network dependencies between the VMs. The information must be in the form of a diagram that details host IP addresses, hostnames, and network connection information.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
To collect information about network dependencies between the VMs, including host IP addresses, hostnames, and network connection information, the appropriate solution is to use AWS Application Discovery Service. This service requires selecting an AWS Migration Hub home AWS Region and installing the AWS Application Discovery Agent on the on-premises servers for accurate data collection. It also necessitates granting permissions to the Application Discovery Service to use the Migration Hub for generating network diagrams.

"AWS Application Discovery Service Discovery Agent must be running on all of the on-premises servers that you want mapped in the diagram."
Correct Answer is A
A is the correct answer. We need agent install in order to generate network diagrams.
VMware VMs = Agentless
A is correct. Agentless can not collect network connection data(network dependency) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/application-discovery/latest/userguide/what-is-appdiscovery.html
Option A
Option A: AWS Application Discovery Service and agent types. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/application-discovery/latest/userguide/what-is-appdiscovery.html
You don't need agents in VMware environment
AWS ADS can't publish data to AWS Migration Hub without permission granted. B is wrong because question doesn't mention that all the vms are managed by vcenter plus missing grant permisson to ADS
A, for sure. It's called AWS Application Discovery Agent, and not AWS Application Migration Service agent
