provider and decommission the internal hosting environment. This migration must be completed by
the end of the month. Because these applications are internally developed to meet specific business
accounting needs, the administrator cannot use an alternative application.
Which of the following BEST describes the approach the administrator should use?
C, because no app changes and tight deadline mean quick move as-is.
Option B could make sense if they want to move apps gradually to reduce risk, but with the end-of-month deadline, it might be too slow compared to lift and shift.
It’s C for sure. Since the apps can’t change and the deadline’s tight, moving them exactly as they are (lift and shift) is the fastest way to get everything into the cloud without extra work.
Maybe B could work too since a phased migration might help minimize downtime while moving complex apps, but with the tight deadline, lift and shift (C) seems more straightforward to get it done fast.
It’s C because they need to move apps as-is quickly, no rebuild needed.
C/D? Lift and shift makes sense to move fast, rip and replace doesn’t fit since apps must stay.
This isn't a phased move since time's tight, and rip and replace doesn’t fit because the apps have to stay. C fits best as lift and shift moves the apps as-is, speeding up the migration without changing them.
This isn’t really about running parts on-prem anymore since the question says they’re decommissioning the internal environment. So A doesn’t fit well. C makes more sense because lift and shift means you move everything as-is quickly. No time wasted redesigning or staging parts. That matches the tight deadline and the need to keep the exact apps running in the cloud. D is too extreme because rip and replace would mean changing apps, which isn’t allowed here. So C feels like the best practical move to meet the timeline without messing with app functionality.
Not B, time’s too short for a phased migration to work properly.
Maybe A makes sense since hybrid deployment lets you keep critical parts running on-prem while shifting others, which could be safer if you’re pressed for time and can’t fully move everything at once.
It’s A because hybrid deployment lets you keep some components on-prem while moving others, which helps if the apps can’t be fully shifted by the deadline. That way, you avoid a big bang switch.
I’m going with C too. Since the apps are custom and need to be moved quickly, lift and shift fits best because it’s basically a direct copy to the cloud without redesigning anything, so the deadline is more doable. Phased migration might be safer, but it could drag out the timeline, which isn’t ideal here.
B imo, phased migration could help reduce risk by moving apps one at a time instead of all at once. It’s still pretty fast but lets you catch issues early. Lift and shift is quick but can cause problems if the apps aren’t cloud-ready. Since these are custom apps, a phased approach might be safer to make sure everything works smoothly before fully decommissioning the old environment.
It’s C, lift and shift seems fastest for the deadline.
