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 backup and restore method creating cloud instance from backup.

Correct methods for migrating on-premises VMs to public cloud include: (B) using backup and restore, where you create a cloud instance from a backup, and (C) exporting the VM as OVF and importing to the cloud. Reinstalling OS and apps (A) is a redeployment, not migration. Physical-to-virtual conversion (D) applies to physical servers, not VMs. Live replication (E) is for disaster recovery, not a one-time migration method.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Reinstall the OS and applications on new cloud instances.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is a fresh install, not a migration of the existing VM.

  • ✓

    Use a backup and restore method creating cloud instance from backup.

    Why this is correct

    Backup software can create a cloud instance from a backup of the on-premises VM.

  • ✓

    Export the VM as an OVF and import to cloud.

    Why this is correct

    OVF is a standard format for packaging VMs, supported by many cloud providers for import.

  • ✗

    Use a physical server migration tool that converts to cloud image.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is for physical servers, not VMs; for VMs, tools like VM conversion are used.

  • ✗

    Use a hybrid cloud extension that replicates VMs live.

    Why it's wrong here

    Live replication is more suited for continuous replication and DR, not a one-time migration method.
