A company needs to migrate an on-premises VMware cluster of 120 VMs (multiple OS types and many custom-installed packages) to AWS. The on-premises environment also includes a 10 TB NFS server. A 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect link is available for the migration. Which approach will complete the migration to AWS in the LEAST amount of time?

AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN) is the fastest and most efficient way to migrate a large number of servers (VMs) to AWS. It continuously replicates data from source servers to AWS, minimizing downtime during cutover. AWS DataSync is ideal for migrating large datasets like the 10 TB NFS data over a Direct Connect link to Amazon EFS, optimizing transfer speed and reliability. Exporting VMs and uploading to S3, then using VM Import/Export, is slower due to manual steps and potential network bottlenecks for large VM images. Rebuilding VMs manually is time-consuming and error-prone. Using Snowball Edge for 120 VMs and 10 TB of data would involve significant shipping and processing time, making it less efficient than online migration methods when a 10 Gbps Direct Connect is available.
