SAP-C02 Practice Question: Accelerate Workload Migration and Modernization
A company is planning a large-scale migration of hundreds of applications to AWS. Which TWO strategies should the architect consider to reduce migration risks?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a wave-based migration approach with defined groups and dependencies
A pilot migration allows testing the process on a small set of applications. A wave-based approach groups applications for migration and helps manage dependencies. Rolling back all migrations if issues occur is not practical. Migrating all at once increases risk. Using only rehosting may not be optimal for all applications.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use only the rehosting strategy for all applications
Why it's wrong here
Rehosting may not be suitable for all applications; different strategies may be needed.
- ✗
Migrate all applications in a single wave to reduce coordination effort
Why it's wrong here
Migrating all at once increases risk of widespread failures.
- ✓
Use a wave-based migration approach with defined groups and dependencies
Why this is correct
Wave-based migration allows controlled, incremental migration.
- ✓
Conduct a pilot migration of a small subset of applications
Why this is correct
Pilot migration helps identify issues before full-scale migration.
- ✗
Roll back all migrations if any application experiences issues
Why it's wrong here
Rolling back all is disruptive; better to handle issues individually.
