Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 360

You need to migrate an on-premises server by using a lift-and-shift migration.

To which type of cloud service should you migrate?

Answer options

• A. infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
• B. software as a service (SaaS)
• C. platform as a service (PaaS)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, infrastructure as a service (IaaS), because lift-and-shift migrations involve moving existing applications to the cloud without redesigning them, which IaaS supports by providing virtualized computing resources. Options B and C, software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS), do not align with the requirements of a lift-and-shift migration as they involve different levels of application management and deployment.
