CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 71

A company hosts its server in a public IaaS cloud. The company's management decides to migrate the servers to a different geographical region that is closer to the user base. A cloud administrator creates a new environment in that geographical region. Which of the following is the BEST way to migrate the VM from the original geographic region to the new region?

Answer options

• A. 1. Create a full backup of the VM. 2. Copy the backup files into the new region using FTP. 3. Restore the VM from the backup files.
• B. 1. Create a VM image. 2. Export the VM image to the new region using vendor's tools. 3. Deploy a new VM based on the created image.
• C. 1. Create a VM clone. 2. Copy the clone into the new region using FTP. 3. Apply the network and security groups from the new region to the cloned VM and start it.
• D. 1. Create a new VM in the new region. 2. Restore a full-system backup from the original VM. 3. Apply the network and security groups from the original region to the new VM.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it ensures a complete restoration of the VM with its original configurations in the new region. Options A, B, and C involve creating backups or clones, which may not capture all configurations or may introduce complexity during the migration process.
