Exam CLO-002 topic 1 question 45 discussion

The correct response among those offered must be (C) Rip and replace: 1. The app MUST be cloud-resident; 2. A feasibility study has been COMPLETED; 3. The app can only run on the current non-cloud infrastructure. (A) Lift and shift requires a cloud-ready app – contradicts #3; (B) Hybrid implies that parts may be migrated, and others remain – contradicts #1 & #3; (D) In-place upgrade utilizes the existing non-cloud infrastructure – contradicts #1 (plus fails to reduce capital expenses).

The question literally states the results of the feasibility study are that the application requires legacy infrastructure and cannot be moved to the cloud. In that case how can the answer be "Hybrid"?? I believe this should be "Rip and Replace".

The correct answer is B. Hybrid. Explanation: • Hybrid: A hybrid cloud approach allows a company to combine on-premises infrastructure with cloud services. Given that the human resources application requires legacy infrastructure that cannot be moved to the cloud, a hybrid approach would enable the company to keep the legacy components on-premises while integrating cloud services where feasible. This way, the company can still achieve some reduction in capital expenses by leveraging cloud resources for parts of the infrastructure that are cloud-compatible, while maintaining the necessary legacy systems on-premises.

The answer is C) Rip and Replace, because if it's hybrid they have to keep the legacy infrastructure, which fails the request of reducing capital expenses, which is the main purpose of the migration

The correct answer is selected here and it is B. Hybrid includes a "drop and shop" approach in which an application that cannot be migrated to the cloud is "dropped," then is replaced with something else through "shopping" or purchase of a different product.

Answer is for sure Hybrid. The application cannot be moved and will therefore be retired or retained. A new app will have to be purchased, this is a hybrid of Drop and Shop and Retire/retain depending on what they choose to do with the legacy app.

Legacy infrastructure requires special attention and is often not well-suited to a pure lift and shift or Rip and Replace strategy. Moving the application to the cloud is a simple matter of storage, but reconfiguring it to ensure that it runs effectively and aligns with cloud-driven datasets will take more work than a typical Rip and Replace or lift and shift migration. Data centers can often set up hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments that can help preserve these applications.

I do not think the answer should be Rip and Replace as this implies removing old complex system and replacing it with modern one. The question didn't state removing it, instead it wants it moved to the cloud.

I think it should be “Rip and Replace”
