CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 37

Which of the following cloud migration methods would take full advantage of the cloud computing model?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'Rip and replace' method allows for a complete overhaul of existing systems, enabling organizations to fully leverage cloud-native features and scalability. In contrast, 'Lift and shift' simply moves applications without rearchitecting them, while 'Phased' and 'Hybrid' approaches may not fully exploit the cloud's capabilities as they often involve incremental changes or a mix of on-premises and cloud environments.
