• A county portfolio assessment ranks a VMware file-and-print stack as low business value with high operational toil, while the citizen payments platform is high value and customer-facing. Leadership is choosing early AWS migration waves. Which prioritization best reflects portfolio assessment guidance?
• A county is exiting a datacenter and needs a single view of discovery status and migration-wave progress across Application Migration Service and related tools. Which approach best assesses and tracks the migration?
• During 7Rs planning for a municipality, architects classify: an unused departmental intranet as retire, air-gapped OT historians as retain on-premises, a simple brochure website as rehost, and citizen payments as refactor. Which statement best reflects correct 7Rs evaluation?
• Finance asks for a three-year TCO comparison between refreshing an aging on-premises SAN for records storage versus rehosting the same workloads to EC2 with EBS (and related AWS storage). Which evaluation best supports the migrate-versus-stay decision?
• A city’s migration PMO can sequence either a low-risk HR wiki or the courts e-filing platform first. The team wants early waves to build operational muscle before touching justice workloads. Which wave-planning choice is most appropriate?
• Before locking migration waves, a municipal enterprise architect must inventory Windows Server versions, Microsoft licensing postures, and upstream/downstream dependencies for line-of-business apps. Which activity best performs asset planning as input to selection?
• An application migration assessment for a permitting system finds hard-coded IP addresses to an on-premises file server and a legacy license host, blocking a clean early rehost. What should the assessment outcome emphasize?
• Business-critical systems adjacent to 911 dispatch depend on unfinished hybrid network and DR designs. The migration board must choose what moves now versus later. Which selection best reflects timing judgment?
• Discovery finds two departmental SharePoint farms with overlapping content and declining usage after a municipal reorganization. Stakeholders propose migrating both unchanged. Which 7Rs-oriented recommendation is best?
• A licensing review shows one candidate app can use License Included on AWS economically, while another has complex BYOL constraints that raise three-year TCO if moved early. How should licensing factor into early-candidate selection?
• A county Migration Hub portfolio assessment is about to lock wave one for courts and assessor systems, but Application Discovery Service just reported undocumented departmental servers that never appeared in the CMDB. What should the architects do before finalizing the wave?
• A city CIO wants the public open-data portal in an early migration wave for citizen visibility even though complexity is only medium and several critical billing systems score higher on technical risk. How should architects balance prioritization?
• A municipal records office still ships monthly archive tapes by courier to an off-site vault and wants a pathfinder migration that proves cloud storage value before touching line-of-business apps. Which process is the strongest early migration candidate?
• A county finance ERP on aging on-premises hosts shows chronically high change-failure rates and fragile release processes. During portfolio selection, which 7R direction should architects favor instead of a blind rehost?

• A public-health department must sequence cutovers safely across interdependent case-management and lab systems. How should Application Discovery Service inform the migration approach?
• A city security office reviews migration tooling that will copy citizen data into AWS. Which security methods should be applied to the migration tools themselves?
• Department apps will resolve names across on-premises DNS and Amazon Route 53 private zones during a staggered municipal cutover. What must the migration approach include to avoid post-cutover black holes?
• A utility billing database can tolerate only minutes of downtime, not a full weekend outage. Which database transfer mechanism should architects choose?
• A county needs hybrid connectivity for early migration waves now, but Direct Connect provisioning will take months. How should architects document the phased network approach?
• Some city workloads run as ordinary VMs with agents available, while others sit in a VMware-centric estate with different operational constraints. How should architects choose application transfer mechanisms?
• A rehosted municipal intranet previously ran on a single tower server and must gain elasticity after landing in AWS. Which compute platform selection best fits?
• A small .NET departmental permitting helper app is being migrated, and the team wants less undifferentiated OS and platform operations. When is AWS Elastic Beanstalk an appropriate target?
• A Java case-management application for social services will be containerized during migration. Which AWS platform combination should architects select for hosting images and running tasks without managing servers?
• A large city already runs a multi-team Kubernetes platform with mature cluster operations skills and wants that model for newly migrated container workloads. Which hosting choice fits the organizational context?
• Public-works engineers share concurrent CAD drawings across multiple workstations after migration. Which storage service selection is appropriate instead of a single instance's Amazon EBS volume?
• A county is replacing aging Windows file servers that provide SMB shares and NTFS ACLs for public-health case files, planning drawings, and permit attachments, with departments in separate AWS accounts joined to the same Active Directory domain. Which target architecture should architects select for the migrated file platform?
• The planning department must archive decades of scanned building-permit PDFs and inspection photos that are rarely retrieved after the first year, while keeping the objects in a multi-account records bucket that legal can restore from without running a database. Which storage architecture should replace on-premises block LUNs?
• A public-works work-order application still requires iSCSI block volumes during a multi-year hybrid transition, even as newer permit systems already write to Amazon S3. Which storage pattern should architects use so the legacy app can keep its block interface while data lands in AWS?
• City utility billing OLTP must remain highly available after migration, while finance wants multi-year usage analytics that currently hammer the same on-premises SQL Server. Which database-platform selection should architects make for the new architecture?
• A multi-account public-health program is replacing a sticky-session SQL table that stores field-kit device IDs and inspection-app session tokens that are keyed lookups with bursty write rates. Which target datastore should architects select?
• A county 311 application stores MongoDB-compatible JSON case documents and currently runs a self-managed replica set on aging VMs. Architects must choose a new database platform that reduces undifferentiated operations unless a blocking engine feature is proven. Which recommendation is appropriate?
• Residents and clerks need ranked full-text search across municipal code, ordinances, and permit conditions, currently implemented as slow SQL LIKE queries on the permitting RDS database that also serves OLTP. Which architecture should replace that search path?
• A courts case-management vendor insists on an exotic database engine feature that Amazon RDS does not support, and the county otherwise standardizes on managed RDS and Aurora. How should architects treat a self-managed database on Amazon EC2?
• The county assessor office runs a six-hour nightly valuation batch that currently occupies a farm of always-on on-premises servers idle all day. After migration, which compute platform selection best fits that batch shape?
• A rehosted public-health epidemiology database will land on Amazon EC2 with Amazon EBS. On-premises SAN metrics show sustained 12,000 IOPS and 250 MiB/s during month-end reporting. How should architects size the block storage?
• A monolithic permitting application in a city account bundles citizen intake, card payments, and inspector workflow in one process, so a payment-vendor outage freezes new applications citywide. Which modernization opportunity should architects identify first?
• Planning staff upload permit-plan PDFs to a records bucket, and the current monolith blocks the upload thread while it generates thumbnails on an always-on EC2 worker. Which serverless enhancement should architects select?
• Finance and public-health accounts generate large weekend report packs on always-on EC2 workers that sit idle on weekdays. The jobs are already containerized. Which modernization should architects recommend?

• The GIS account publishes parcel-change events that the public-works work-order system must consume, but today's synchronous HTTP calls fail when work-order is patching, causing missed tickets. Which integration pattern should architects introduce?
• The city's open-data portal is a static site of CSVs, maps, and HTML with a few dynamic query APIs still on the permitting backend. The current design serves everything from a pair of always-on EC2 web servers. Which storage-and-delivery modernization should architects select?
• Permit-plan conversion Lambdas and Fargate tasks in the planning account must concurrently read and write intermediate CAD-derived files that exceed /tmp and must be visible to the next step. Which shared storage should architects attach?
• The county ERP that issues purchase orders cannot be rewritten in one release, but finance needs a new vendor-onboarding API this quarter. Which incremental modernization path should architects identify?
• Public-health clinics want a new mobile patient check-in feature with simple keyed writes and variable load, while the existing clinic system of record remains Oracle. Which purpose-built database approach should architects recommend for the new slice?
• The city's shared DevOps account still runs always-on EC2 build VMs that execute containerized test suites for permitting, GIS, and public-health pipelines, sitting idle between merges. Which container-service modernization should architects select for the test runners?
• Planning wants OCR on uploaded permit plans and image moderation on public 311 photos, but these are adjacent enhancements to existing S3-based intake—not a new AI product line. Which approach should architects take so the core architecture stays on integration?
• Citizen permit-status pages currently call the intake API, which calls payments, which calls inspections, and any hop timeout shows unknown during peak filing days. Which event-driven modernization should architects recommend?
