- A
Classify applications based on their business criticality and technical requirements.
- B
Immediately rehost all applications to AWS using a lift-and-shift approach.
- C
Identify application dependencies and interconnectivity to assess migration complexity.
- D
Focus only on the applications that generate revenue and ignore internal tools.
- E
Perform a cost analysis of running each application in the AWS environment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
Portfolio assessment involves understanding the business importance, technical requirements, and interdependencies of applications to determine the best migration strategy for each one. Classifying applications and analyzing their dependencies ensures a structured migration plan can be developed. Immediate rehosting, focusing only on revenue-generating applications, or performing cost analysis prematurely does not align with the standard portfolio assessment process.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Classifying applications based on their business criticality and technical requirements is a key step in portfolio assessment to determine which applications are suitable for migration and how they should be handled.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While lift-and-shift (rehosting) is a valid migration strategy, immediately applying this approach to all applications without assessing their suitability is not part of a proper portfolio assessment process.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Identifying application dependencies and interconnectivity is essential for understanding migration complexity and ensuring successful migration.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Focusing only on revenue-generating applications ignores the broader requirements of a complete migration strategy, including internal tools that may be essential for operations.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While cost analysis is important, it typically comes after the portfolio has been assessed and migration strategies have been assigned to each application.
