Page 184 - Cloud Essentials

A. Evaluate other functionally equivalent SaaS offerings.

B. Keep using the on-premises end-user software.
C. Use cloud backup for the end-user software data.

D. Use PaaS instead.

A. Cloud providers might have a SaaS offering that has the same

functionality of the in-house software in use. This should be explored
first.
B, C, and D are incorrect. Since cloud evaluation was part of the
question, keeping the existing software solution is not the best choice.
Cloud backup does not address the issue of using a cloud SaaS
solution. PaaS is for developers to quickly create and test applications,
not end-user productivity software.

39. Your company currently has six virtual servers hosted on premises
using two clustered physical servers. The two physical servers on
which the six virtual servers are running must be replaced. You have
been asked to recommend the quickest solution to run the six virtual
machines in the cloud instead of on the premises. What should you
recommend?

A. Back up the existing virtual servers. Create new cloud virtual
servers and restore the data into them.

B. Migrate the existing virtual machines to the cloud.
C. You cannot migrate virtual machines to the cloud.

D. Re-create the six virtual machines in the cloud from scratch.

B. Migrating existing virtual machines to the cloud is the quickest
solution. Most cloud providers offer this solution.
A, C, and D are incorrect. Creating new virtual servers in the cloud

and restoring data to them normally takes longer than simply migrating
virtual servers to the cloud. Most cloud providers offering IaaS allow
cloud customers to migrate virtual machines to the cloud.

40. Which of the following is a reason to migrate an application to the
cloud?

A. Elasticity.
B. Data encryption.

C. High availability.
