AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional SAP-C01 – Question700

A company has five physical data centers in specific locations around the world. Each data center has hundreds of physical servers with a mix of Windows and Linux-based applications and database services. Each data center also has an AWS Direct Connect connection of 10 Gbps to AWS with a company-approved VPN solution to ensure that data transfer is secure. The company needs to shut down the existing data centers as quickly as possible and migrate the servers and applications to AWS.
Which solution meets these requirements?
