SAP-C02 Question 573
Select 2A company is planning to migrate its on-premises workloads to AWS. The applications include a business-critical ERP system, a customer-facing website, a batch processing system for analytics, and a non-critical internal tool used for report generation. The company has limited migration resources and a requirement to minimize downtime for critical systems. Which workloads should be prioritized in the first migration wave?
- A
The business-critical ERP system
- B
The customer-facing website
- C
The batch processing system for analytics
- D
The non-critical internal tool used for report generation
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
In a migration strategy, workloads are typically prioritized based on their business impact, criticality, and downtime tolerance. The business-critical ERP system and customer-facing website have the highest priority due to their direct impact on operations and customer experience. Non-critical and batch workloads are generally deprioritized to later migration waves to focus resources on high-priority systems.
- A. Correct.
The business-critical ERP system should be prioritized for the migration wave due to its importance to the company's operations and the need to ensure minimal downtime during the transition.
- B. Correct.
The customer-facing website should be prioritized because it directly impacts customer experience and revenue, making it a high-priority workload to migrate with minimal risk.
- C. Incorrect.
The batch processing system for analytics, while operationally important, is not typically real-time critical and can often be migrated in a later wave with less urgency.
- D. Incorrect.
The non-critical internal tool used for report generation is least critical and can be deferred to a later migration wave since it does not significantly impact business operations.
