A company is planning to migrate a legacy application, comprising a single application server and a Microsoft SQL Server database server, from their on-premises data center to AWS. Each server is currently hosted on a VMware VM, which collectively uses 500 TB of data across multiple attached storage volumes. The company has already set up a 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect link from their nearest AWS Region to their on-premises facility, which is not being utilized by other services at the moment. What are the optimal steps for a solutions architect to minimize downtime during this migration? (Select two options.)
A
Initiate an AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) replication job to transfer the database server VM to AWS.
B
Employ VM Import/Export to bring the application server VM into AWS.
C
Utilize an AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device to export the VM images.
D
Start an AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS) replication job to move the application server VM to AWS.
E
Deploy an AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) replication instance to migrate the database to an Amazon RDS DB instance.
