Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 263

An organization has decided to modernize their applications in the cloud to keep up with their customers' needs.
What may have prompted this business decision?

Answer options

• A. Their on-premises applications only autoscale to meet demand.
• B. They want to change from a pay-as-you-go model to a capital expenditure model.
• C. Their source code changes erroneously without developer interaction.
• D. Their on-premises applications take months to update and deploy.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because lengthy update and deployment times for on-premises applications can hinder responsiveness to customer needs, prompting a move to the cloud for more agility. Options A and B do not highlight issues related to customer responsiveness, and C addresses a different concern about code management rather than deployment speed.
