Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 207

An organization wants to create a new application in the cloud to replace an existing on-premises application.
Which application modernization approach should the organization use?

Answer options

• A. Move the application to the cloud, and then change it.
• B. Change their application, and then move it to the cloud.
• C. Invent in greenfield.
• D. Invent in brownfield.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as 'Invent in brownfield' refers to developing new applications within the context of existing systems and infrastructure, which is suitable for replacing an on-premises application. The other options either suggest moving before or after making changes, or creating entirely new applications without leveraging existing resources, which may not align with the organization's goal of replacing an existing solution.
