CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 35

Which of the following cloud migration methods would be BEST suited for disaster recovery scenarios?

Answer options

• A. Replatforming
• B. Phased
• C. Rip and replace
• D. Lift and shift

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The 'Lift and shift' method is ideal for disaster recovery because it allows for quicker migration of existing applications to the cloud without significant changes, ensuring business continuity. Other methods like 'Replatforming' and 'Rip and replace' involve more complex modifications that may not be practical during a disaster. The 'Phased' approach can also be slower, making it less suitable for urgent recovery needs.
