First assess, then set up target, replicate, transfer data, and finally test and cut over.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Assess current environment, set up target cloud environment, replicate applications and data, transfer data, test and cut over
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the lift and shift strategy requires first understanding the current environment, then preparing the target, replicating the applications and data, transferring data, and finally testing before cutting over to ensure minimal disruption.
- ✗
Set up target cloud environment, assess current environment, replicate applications and data, transfer data, test and cut over
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the target environment should be set up after assessing the current environment to ensure it meets the requirements; setting up first may lead to misconfiguration.
- ✗
Assess current environment, replicate applications and data, transfer data, set up target cloud environment, test and cut over
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the target environment must be set up before replicating and transferring data; otherwise, there is no destination for the data.
- ✗
Assess current environment, set up target cloud environment, transfer data, replicate applications and data, test and cut over
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because replication should occur before the final data transfer to ensure consistency; transferring data first may result in incomplete or out-of-sync data.
