SAP-C02 Question 571
Select 4An organization is planning to migrate its on-premises workloads to AWS. They have identified different workloads with varying levels of criticality, dependencies, and resource requirements. The migration team wants to prioritize workloads and create migration waves. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate approach to ensure a smooth migration process?
- A
Group workloads based on business criticality and prioritize migrating non-critical workloads in the initial waves.
- B
Identify and resolve application dependencies before planning the migration waves.
- C
Migrate all workloads in a single wave to reduce complexity and minimize downtime.
- D
Perform a pilot migration with a small set of non-critical workloads to validate the migration strategy.
- E
Prioritize workloads with minimal dependencies for the initial waves to reduce risk and complexity.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
When planning workload migration to AWS, it is essential to prioritize workloads based on factors such as criticality, dependencies, and complexity. Starting with non-critical workloads and those with minimal dependencies allows the team to gain experience and refine their migration strategy. Additionally, running a pilot migration helps validate the tools and processes, ensuring a smooth transition for more complex workloads later in the migration plan. Attempting to migrate all workloads in a single wave increases risk and is not recommended.
- A. Correct.
This is correct. Grouping workloads based on business criticality helps ensure that lower-risk workloads are migrated first, allowing the team to gain experience and validate the process before handling critical systems.
- B. Correct.
This is correct. Resolving application dependencies is crucial to avoid failures during migration and to ensure workloads function correctly post-migration.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Migrating all workloads in a single wave increases complexity and risk, making it harder to resolve issues effectively during the migration process.
- D. Correct.
This is correct. Performing a pilot migration helps validate the chosen migration strategy and tools, ensuring that potential issues are identified and resolved before proceeding with larger waves.
- E. Correct.
This is correct. Prioritizing workloads with minimal dependencies reduces the risk of failure and allows for a simpler migration process during the initial waves.
