SAP-C02 Question 570
Select 2A company is planning to migrate its on-premises workloads to AWS. The migration team has decided to use a wave planning approach to prioritize workloads. Which of the following factors should the team consider when prioritizing workloads for migration? (Choose TWO)
- A
The business criticality of the workload
- B
The availability of AWS service features required by the workload
- C
The number of on-premises servers the company has
- D
The time since the workload was last updated
- E
The cost of running the workload on-premises versus AWS
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
Wave planning for workload migration involves identifying and prioritizing workloads based on business and technical factors. Business criticality ensures that essential workloads are addressed strategically, while assessing the availability of required AWS service features ensures technical feasibility. These considerations help create an effective migration plan that minimizes risk and maximizes benefits.
- A. Correct.
The business criticality of the workload is a key factor in prioritizing workloads for migration. Critical workloads might need to be migrated earlier or later depending on the organization's strategy, such as reducing risk or accelerating benefits.
- B. Correct.
The availability of AWS service features required by the workload is essential for prioritization. If AWS lacks certain features necessary for the workload, migration might need to be delayed.
- C. Incorrect.
The number of on-premises servers is not inherently relevant to workload prioritization. Instead, the focus should be on workload characteristics and dependencies rather than the raw count of servers.
- D. Incorrect.
The time since the workload was last updated is not a primary factor in migration planning. While older workloads might require modernization, this is secondary to business impact and technical feasibility.
- E. Incorrect.
The cost of running the workload on-premises versus AWS is an important consideration for migration economics but is not directly tied to workload prioritization during wave planning.
