You are planning a massive data center migration to GCP involving 500 applications. You need to determine which applications to migrate first. What is the best practice for planning migration waves?
Answer options:
A.
Migrate the most mission-critical applications first to prove the cloud works.
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.
