Exam Professional Cloud Architect topic 1 question 103 discussion

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

I got this question in my exam.

I chose C. The tool is also now called Migrate to Virtual Machines

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)

Assess, Plan, Migrate. Textbook perfect

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.

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

C is ok

C is most suitable for this use

I got this question in exam.

C is right, It defines all logical steps to migrate on-premise to google cloud.

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

Go for C

I got this question on my exam. Answered C.

Go for C.

why not A? seems pretty obvious if you look at the google doc: https://cloud.google.com/migrate/compute-engine/docs/5.0/concepts/lifecycle
