A company is transitioning to the AWS Cloud and manages a diverse set of applications on both Windows and Linux servers, some of which are physical and others virtual. The company's on-premises environment includes various databases, but lacks a precise inventory of its servers and applications. The company aims to optimize resource allocation during the migration process. To facilitate this, a solutions architect requires detailed information on network connections and application interdependencies. The architect must thoroughly evaluate the current environment to devise an effective migration strategy. What method should the solutions architect employ to gather the necessary information for crafting this migration plan?

Explanation:
To obtain detailed information about the network connections and application relationships, especially when dealing with a mix of physical and virtual servers, the most comprehensive solution is to use AWS Migration Hub along with the AWS Application Discovery Agent. The agent collects data on system performance, running processes, and network connections, which is crucial for an accurate assessment. Deployment of the Migration Hub Strategy Recommendations application data collector will further aid in generating detailed reports. While option C uses the Agentless Collector and option D involves manual import, these methods may not capture all required details given the lack of an accurate inventory. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
