Question
A cloud systems administrator needs to migrate several corporate applications to a public cloud 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?
- A. Hybrid deployment
- B. Phased migration
- C. Lift and shift Correct
- D. Rip and replace
Explanation
Lift and shift moves the existing applications to the cloud largely unchanged, which is the fastest approach and keeps the custom accounting software. Rip and replace would swap the applications for new ones, which the scenario rules out. A phased migration spreads the move over time and a hybrid deployment keeps part of the environment on premises, which conflicts with the deadline and the plan to decommission the internal hosting.
