The Management Team at a Company with a Large On-Premises

Multiple Choice

The management team at a company with a large on-premises OpenStack environment wants to move non-production workloads to AWS. An AWS Direct Connect connection has been provisioned and configured to connect the environments. Due to contractual obligations, the production workloads must remain on-premises, and will be moved to AWS after the next contract negotiation. The company follows Center for Internet Security (CIS) standards for hardening images; this configuration was developed using the company's configuration management system. Which solution will automatically create an identical image in the AWS environment without significant overhead?

A) Write an AWS CloudFormation template that will create an Amazon EC2 instance. Use cloud-unit to install the configuration management agent, use cfn-wait to wait for configuration management to successfully apply, and use an AWS Lambda-backed custom resource to create the AMI.
B) Log in to the console, launch an Amazon EC2 instance, and install the configuration management agent. When changes are applied through the configuration management system, log in to the console and create a new AMI from the instance.
C) Create a new AWS OpsWorks layer and mirror the image hardening standards. Use this layer as the baseline for all AWS workloads.
D) When a change is made in the configuration management system, a job in Jenkins is triggered to use the VM Import command to create an Amazon EC2 instance in the Amazon VPC. Use lifecycle hooks to launch an AWS Lambda function to create the AMI.
