A company is migrating several applications to AWS but lacks a comprehensive understanding of its application estate, which includes both physical machines and VMs. One specific application has numerous latency-sensitive dependencies using a custom IP-based protocol on port 1000. The company aims to migrate these dependencies simultaneously with the application. They have been using the AWS Application Discovery Agent for data collection. How should the company identify and group these dependencies for a coordinated migration?

Explanation:
The correct answer is A. AWS Migration Hub provides features for network visualization and dependency mapping of your application servers. By using Migration Hub, you can visualize the servers that interact with your application. For data exploration and deeper analysis, Amazon Athena can query the collected data to identify the dependencies based on communication protocols, such as the custom IP-based protocol on port 1000. This combination allows you to accurately create a move group that includes all necessary dependencies for a coordinated migration. Other options, such as using AWS Application Migration Service or Network Access Analyzer, do not provide the required functionalities for identifying on-premises server dependencies, or are not designed for this specific use case.
