SAP-C02 Question 572
Select 2A company is planning to migrate its entire on-premises infrastructure to AWS. The migration team has identified numerous workloads with varying levels of criticality, complexity, and dependencies. To ensure a smooth migration process, the team wants to implement a wave planning strategy. Which of the following actions should they prioritize during the wave planning phase? (Select TWO)
- A
Identify and prioritize workloads with low complexity and low dependencies for the initial migration waves.
- B
Migrate all mission-critical workloads in the first wave to validate the migration strategy.
- C
Group workloads with interdependencies into the same migration wave to minimize disruption.
- D
Disregard non-production workloads until all production workloads have been migrated.
- E
Create detailed runbooks for each workload to clearly define migration steps and rollback procedures.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
Wave planning involves organizing workloads into manageable groups (waves) for migration, based on their complexity, dependencies, and criticality. The goal is to minimize risks by starting with simpler workloads and addressing interdependencies within the same wave. By doing so, the team ensures a structured and efficient migration process.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Migrating low-complexity and low-dependency workloads first helps validate the migration strategy with minimal risk and builds confidence for subsequent waves.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Migrating mission-critical workloads in the first wave is risky and can lead to significant disruptions if issues arise during the migration process.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Grouping workloads with interdependencies minimizes the risk of breaking application functionality and ensures smoother transitions.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Non-production workloads can play a key role in testing and validating the migration process, so disregarding them initially is not recommended.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While creating runbooks is essential for a migration, it is not specific to wave planning. It is part of the overall migration preparation process.
