Question
Which of the following migration types is best to use when migrating a highly available application, which is normally hosted on a local VM cluster, for usage with an external user population?
- A. Cloud to on-premises
- B. Cloud to cloud
- C. On-premises to cloud Correct
- D. On-premises to on-premises
Explanation
The application currently runs on a local (on-premises) VM cluster and needs to serve external users, so moving it to the cloud, an on-premises-to-cloud migration, puts it on globally reachable, highly available infrastructure. Cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-on-premises migrations assume the application already runs in a cloud, and on-premises to on-premises keeps it in a local data center that does not address external access.
