CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 256

A network engineer is implementing a solution by which on-premises servers are migrated to a cloud service provider. Which of the following service models will provide a lift and shift solution to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Infrastructure as a service
• B. Infrastructure as code
• C. Software as a service
• D. Software-defined network

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), as it allows for the migration of on-premises servers directly to the cloud while maintaining control over the operating system and applications. Options B, C, and D do not provide the necessary infrastructure environment for a lift and shift approach, as they focus on automation, software delivery, and network management respectively.
