Due to incurred costs, a corporation decides to adopt the cloud, moving their current on-premises software program into the cloud. What is this migration strategy known as?

  • Lift and shift

  • Hybrid

  • Refactoring 

  • Rip and replace

Correct answer: Lift and shift

A lift and shift migration involves taking an on-premises software program and using it in the cloud. This approach is contrasted with migrations that involve using entirely new software. 

Hybrid, rip and replace, and refactoring are incorrect. Hybrid migrations involve leaving some data on-premises and some data in the cloud. Rip and replace migrations, also known as refactoring, involves using a new cloud-based solution instead of retrofitting the on-premises solution to the cloud. 

193.

Your business has made the decision to go to the cloud for cost reasons. Your organization has several requirements. For example, your organization's database and the sensitive data stored in the database will need to be kept on hardware your team can physically access.

What kind of migration would be MOST suitable for this scenario?

  • Hybrid

  • Phased

  • Lift and shift

  • Rip and replace

Correct answer: Hybrid

In general, a hybrid migration approach is defined in two ways. The first type is a hybrid strategy combining lift and shift and rip and replace migration tactics. The second type of migration is one in which some services remain on-premises while others migrate to the cloud. The second hybrid technique applies in this case, as the database will remain on-premises due to security concerns while the rest of the on-premises infrastructure is moved to the cloud. Moving data to the cloud entails losing physical access to the hardware. 

194.
