AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 756

A user is moving a workload from a local data center to an architecture that is distributed between the local data center and the AWS Cloud.

Which type of migration is this?

Answer options

• A. On-premises to cloud native
• B. Hybrid to cloud native
• C. On-premises to hybrid
• D. Cloud native to hybrid

Correct answer: C

Explanation

This migration is classified as on-premises to hybrid because the workload is transitioning from a traditional local data center to a combined environment that utilizes both local infrastructure and the AWS Cloud. Options A and B are incorrect because cloud-native architectures reside entirely within the cloud, whereas this scenario retains a local data center footprint. Option D is incorrect because it describes the reverse path of moving from a fully cloud-native setup to a hybrid model.
