SAP-C02 Question 560
Select 2Your company is planning to migrate a portfolio of 300 applications from on-premises to AWS. As part of the migration strategy, you need to assess the portfolio to determine the most suitable migration approach for each application. Which of the following actions should you take to effectively perform the portfolio assessment? (Select TWO.)
- A
Categorize the applications into groups based on business criticality, technical complexity, and dependencies.
- B
Perform a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison between on-premises and AWS for each application.
- C
Identify and document the interdependencies between applications to avoid breaking functionality during the migration.
- D
Migrate all applications using a single lift-and-shift approach to minimize assessment time.
- E
Focus only on the applications with the highest resource usage, as they provide the greatest cost savings potential.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
Effective portfolio assessment involves analyzing the portfolio comprehensively to determine the most suitable migration strategy for each application. This includes categorizing applications based on business and technical factors and identifying interdependencies. These actions ensure that the migration is efficient and minimizes risks associated with application downtime or broken functionality.
- A. Correct.
Categorizing applications into groups based on business criticality, technical complexity, and dependencies is a fundamental step in portfolio assessment. It helps determine the migration strategy (e.g., rehost, refactor, retire) for each application.
- B. Incorrect.
While performing a TCO comparison is useful for overall cost assessment, it does not directly contribute to the portfolio assessment process for determining migration approaches.
- C. Correct.
Identifying and documenting interdependencies is critical to ensure that application functionality is preserved during migration. This step helps avoid potential downtime or failures caused by broken dependencies.
- D. Incorrect.
A single lift-and-shift approach may work for some applications, but it is not suitable for all. Portfolio assessment is about identifying the best migration strategy for each application, which requires more detailed analysis.
- E. Incorrect.
Focusing only on high-resource applications ignores other critical factors like business impact, technical complexity, and dependencies. Portfolio assessment requires consideration of all applications.
