CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 6

A company is migrating a legacy application to the cloud. Two C-level executives are currently engaged in the initial stages of the migration, and they are planning a rip-and-replace approach.
Before initiating the project, the FIRST step should be to identify:

Answer options

• A. the required network performance.
• B. the key stakeholders.
• C. the desired CSP.
• D. the required cloud services.
• E. the required amount of storage.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The first step in a cloud migration project is to identify the desired CSP, as this will determine the cloud provider's capabilities and services that will best fit the application needs. Identifying the required cloud services is also important, but it typically follows the selection of the CSP, making option C the primary focus at this stage. The other options, while relevant, are not the first priorities when initiating a migration plan.
