Read the first 7 Cloud Migration & Multi-Cloud flashcards as text

  1. A company migrating to multi-cloud wants to enforce consistent security policies across AWS and GCP. Which solution category best addresses this?

    Answer: Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool

    CSPM tools continuously assess and enforce security policies and compliance standards across multiple cloud environments from a centralized platform.

  2. What is 'cloud repatriation' in the context of cloud strategy?

    Answer: Migrating workloads back from public cloud to on-premises or private cloud

    Cloud repatriation refers to the decision to move workloads from public cloud back to on-premises or colocation facilities, often due to cost or performance reasons.

  3. Which factor most commonly drives organizations to adopt a multi-cloud strategy rather than committing to a single cloud provider?

    Answer: Avoiding vendor lock-in and leveraging best-of-breed services from each provider

    Avoiding vendor lock-in and accessing each provider's strongest services (e.g., AWS ML, GCP data analytics) are the primary drivers for multi-cloud adoption.

  4. In cloud migration, what does 'TCO analysis' help a systems integrator determine?

    Answer: The full financial comparison between keeping workloads on-premises versus migrating to cloud

    Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis compares all costs — hardware, licensing, operations, and opportunity costs — between on-premises and cloud to justify migration decisions.

  5. A migration team discovers that an application uses a Windows-only COM+ component that has no cloud equivalent. What is the most appropriate disposition?

    Answer: Rehost the application on a cloud Windows VM (IaaS)

    When an application has dependencies on OS-specific components with no cloud-native equivalent, rehosting on a cloud IaaS Windows VM is the most pragmatic option.

  6. Which migration readiness assessment dimension evaluates whether the organization has sufficient cloud-trained staff to execute the migration?

    Answer: People and skills readiness

    People and skills readiness assesses current cloud competencies, identifies training gaps, and plans for hiring or upskilling needed to support the migration program.

  7. What is the purpose of a 'strangler fig pattern' in cloud migration?

    Answer: Incrementally replacing legacy system functionality with cloud-native services until the old system can be retired

    The strangler fig pattern gradually replaces pieces of a legacy system with new cloud-native components, reducing risk by allowing parallel operation until the legacy system is fully replaced.
