- E
The availability of AWS services in the target region
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, E
Explanation
Portfolio assessment is a critical step in migration planning. It involves evaluating factors such as application dependencies, potential cost savings, compliance requirements, and the availability of AWS services in the target region. These factors help determine which applications should be prioritized for migration. Security vulnerabilities, while important, are typically addressed as part of the overall migration process rather than during portfolio assessment.
- A. Correct.
Considering application dependencies is critical during portfolio assessment. Applications with high interdependencies may require careful planning and sequencing during migration.
- B. Correct.
Cost savings is a key driver for cloud adoption. Evaluating the potential cost benefits of migrating specific applications can help prioritize workloads.
- C. Correct.
Applications with stringent compliance or regulatory requirements may need special attention during migration. Understanding these constraints helps determine migration feasibility.
- D. Incorrect.
While security vulnerabilities in the current environment are important, they are not specifically relevant to prioritizing applications for migration. Security concerns should be addressed during or after migration, not during portfolio assessment.
- E. Correct.
The availability of AWS services in the target region is an important factor, as it determines whether the required services and features can support the application post-migration.
