1Y0-312 Migration and Cloud Integration Practice Question
An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses machine catalogs with MCS provisioned machines on vSphere. The administrator plans to use Citrix Cloud Migration Service to migrate the site. Which two components must be present in the on-premises environment to support the migration? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that all existing infrastructure components, such as Citrix Gateway or StoreFront, are required for the migration, when in fact the Migration Service specifically requires Cloud Connectors and the Migration Service agent on Delivery Controllers.
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
✓
The on-premises Delivery Controllers must be running a supported version and have the Migration Service agent installed.
The two required components are Citrix Cloud Connectors and the Migration Service agent on supported Delivery Controllers. Cloud Connectors enable secure communication between the on-premises resource location and Citrix Cloud, while the Migration Service agent on Delivery Controllers facilitates the actual migration of site configuration. These are essential for the Migration Service to inventory and transfer the site to Citrix DaaS. Other components like Citrix Gateway or StoreFront are not prerequisites for the migration process itself.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The on-premises Delivery Controllers must be running a supported version and have the Migration Service agent installed.
Why this is correct
The on-premises Delivery Controllers must be running a supported version (e.g., 7 1906 or later) and have the Migration Service agent installed. This agent facilitates communication with Citrix Cloud and performs the actual migration tasks. Without the agent, the Migration Service cannot connect to the on-premises site. This is a specific requirement for using the Migration Service.
- ✗
The on-premises site must be configured with a Citrix ADC for load balancing.
Why it's wrong here
A Citrix ADC is not required for the Citrix Cloud Migration Service. Load balancing is an optional component for high availability and scalability, but it is not a prerequisite for migration. The Migration Service can operate without an ADC. This option confuses infrastructure optimization with migration requirements, which are separate concerns.
- ✓
Citrix Cloud Connectors installed in the on-premises resource location.
Why this is correct
Citrix Cloud Connectors are required to establish a connection between the on-premises resource location and Citrix Cloud. They enable communication for the Migration Service to inventory and migrate site configuration. Without them, the on-premises resources cannot be managed by Citrix Cloud, and the migration cannot proceed. They are a fundamental component for any Citrix DaaS hybrid deployment.
- ✗
A Citrix Gateway configured for remote access.
Why it's wrong here
While a Citrix Gateway may be used for user access, it is not a requirement for the Citrix Cloud Migration Service. The Migration Service focuses on site configuration and resource migration, not on remote access infrastructure. The presence of a Gateway is independent and not needed for the migration process itself. This option confuses access requirements with migration prerequisites.
- ✗
A Citrix StoreFront server with the latest cumulative update.
Why it's wrong here
StoreFront is not required for the Citrix Cloud Migration Service. The Migration Service migrates the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site configuration, including machine catalogs and delivery groups, but does not involve StoreFront. StoreFront may continue to be used for user access, but it is not a prerequisite for the migration itself. This option incorrectly assumes StoreFront is part of the migration.
