B.

Migrate the databases first, then migrate the application servers months later.

C.

Use StratoZone to map dependencies and migrate applications with the fewest dependencies first.

D.

Migrate all 500 applications over a single weekend to minimize the transition period.

How to approach this question

Identify the lowest-risk approach to migration sequencing.

Full Answer

C.Use StratoZone to map dependencies and migrate applications with the fewest dependencies first.✓ Correct
Use StratoZone to map dependencies and migrate applications with the fewest dependencies first.
Best practice for cloud migration is to use automated discovery tools (like StratoZone) to map network dependencies. You group tightly coupled servers into 'move groups' and start with the least complex, least critical applications to build team muscle memory before tackling complex workloads.

Common mistakes

Choosing to move critical apps first (A), which maximizes risk.
