CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 236

Enterprises that are embarking on their cloud migration journey must be able to have control over their workload mobility without platform interdependencies. What is an ecosystem consideration for workload placement that helps the enterprise remain agile and independent post-cloud migration?

Answer options

• A. business continuity and disaster recovery
• B. proper integration with back-end systems
• C. cloud service provider offerings without lock-in
• D. overall TCO reduction

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because avoiding lock-in with cloud service providers allows enterprises to switch providers or platforms easily, maintaining agility. Options A and B are important for operations but do not directly address the need for independence post-migration. Option D, while beneficial for cost management, does not ensure control over workload mobility.
