Your company is planning to perform a lift and shift migration of their Linux RHEL 6.5+ virtual machines. The virtual machines are running in an on-premises
VMware environment. You want to migrate them to Compute Engine following Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

A. 1. Define a migration plan based on the list of the applications and their dependencies. 2. Migrate all virtual machines into Compute Engine individually with Migrate for Compute Engine.
B. 1. Perform an assessment of virtual machines running in the current VMware environment. 2. Create images of all disks. Import disks on Compute Engine. 3. Create standard virtual machines where the boot disks are the ones you have imported.
C. 1. Perform an assessment of virtual machines running in the current VMware environment. 2. Define a migration plan, prepare a Migrate for Compute Engine migration RunBook, and execute the migration.
D. 1. Perform an assessment of virtual machines running in the current VMware environment. 2. Install a third-party agent on all selected virtual machines. 3. Migrate all virtual machines into Compute Engine.

Ans ) C , Migrate for Compute Engine organizes groups of VMs into Waves. After understanding the dependencies of your applications, create runbooks that contain groups of VMs and begin your migration! https://cloud.google.com/migrate/compute-engine/docs/4.5/how-to/migrate-on-premises-to-gcp/overview

1. Perform an assessment of virtual machines running in the current VMware environment. (You should as best pratice perform an assessment of virtual machines and define a migration plan) 2. Define a migration plan, prepare a Migrate for Compute Engine migration RunBook, and execute the migration. (compute Engine migration Runbook is the best pratice)

Selected Answer: B

The reason why Option B is preferable over Option C is that it involves creating images of all disks and importing them into Compute Engine, which can significantly reduce the amount of time required for the migration. Additionally, creating standard virtual machines from the imported disks is a straightforward process, and it ensures that the migrated virtual machines are identical to the on-premises virtual machines, which can simplify the migration process and minimize the risk of compatibility issues.

Selected Answer: C

C is the correct answer, Runbooks are created from the Migrate for Compute Engine Manager. The system queries VMware or AWS for VMs and generates a CSV for you to edit. By editing the CSV, you define: The VMs in a wave. The order in which those VMs are migrated. The type and disk space of VMs that are launched on Google Cloud. Other characteristics that are defined in the Runbook reference. https://cloud.google.com/migrate/compute-engine/docs/4.8/how-to/organizing-migrations/creating-and-modifying-runbooks#generating_runbook_templates

Does Ans. C) still valid as of latest GCE 5.0? in the doc "Migrating VM groups" with version GCE 5.0, I do not see "runbook" anymore which is explained up to version GCE 4.8. https://cloud.google.com/migrate/compute-engine/docs/5.0/how-to/migrating-vm-groups

When you are doing cloud migrations, you do migrations in "waves" which are groupings of one or more applications/workloads. Moving machines individually would break things, such as dependencies. This is standard industry practice.
