4.0 Accelerate Workload Migration and Modernization SAP-C02 Practice Quiz

• A. Classify each workload by an appropriate migration strategy such as rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain, or relocate
• B. Use Application Load Balancer connection draining set to zero seconds for stateful sessions
• C. Use AWS Systems Manager Run Command without Change Manager for production changes
• D. Use IAM password policy to enforce VPC routing decisions

The migration strategy should fit the workload's constraints, value, and modernization opportunity.

• A. Use a structured portfolio assessment that captures business criticality, dependencies, technical complexity, compliance needs, and migration readiness
• B. Use Secrets Manager without rotation to reduce operational complexity
• C. Use AWS Cost Explorer to provision EC2 capacity in advance
• D. Skip log retention policies and keep all CloudWatch Logs forever

A migration portfolio should be prioritized from evidence about business value, dependency risk, and technical readiness.

• A. Place customer gateway IP inside the VPC CIDR range
• B. Group workloads into migration waves based on dependency maps, business windows, risk, team readiness, and shared platform prerequisites
• C. Use a single AWS Cost and Usage Report at the account level for an organization with 200 accounts
• D. Use ACM-imported public certs without renewal monitoring or alerting

Wave planning reduces cutover risk by moving related components in a controlled sequence.

• A. Use Reserved Instances purchased for one Region to cover usage in a different Region
• B. Use AWS Application Discovery Service, Migration Evaluator, stakeholder interviews, and dependency mapping to build the migration inventory
• C. Use AWS Budgets to enforce IAM permission boundaries on engineering teams
• D. Use AWS Pricing Calculator as a real-time bill cap

Discovery must combine tooling and business input to avoid missing dependencies and ownership constraints.

• A. Use IAM password policy as the authoritative identity provider for federated users
• B. Build a migration business case that includes infrastructure savings, licensing effects, operational changes, migration cost, risk reduction, and modernization value
• C. Use AWS Budgets alarms only for total account spend, never per-service or per-tag
• D. Use AWS GuardDuty findings without routing them to Security Hub or EventBridge

The business case should compare total value and risk rather than just infrastructure replacement cost.

• A. Disable AWS Shield Standard to reduce baseline latency
• B. Use AWS Backup without vault lock to satisfy ransomware-resistant retention
• C. Retain or defer workloads when dependencies, regulations, or business timing make immediate migration higher risk than value
• D. Use Amazon Cognito identity pools as a replacement for AWS Organizations SCPs

Not every workload should move in the first wave; retained workloads still need a documented rationale.

• A. Use Direct Connect public VIFs to reach private VPC subnets during migration
• B. Treat AWS Organizations consolidated billing as a substitute for SCPs
• C. Classify each workload by an appropriate migration strategy such as rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain, or relocate
• D. Use simple scaling policies with cool-downs longer than the spike duration for traffic bursts

The migration strategy should fit the workload's constraints, value, and modernization opportunity.

• A. Use AWS DataSync to provide live SQL replication between two RDS Aurora clusters
• B. Use Amazon DynamoDB for relational workloads requiring multi-table joins and complex transactions
• C. Use AWS Control Tower without enrolling existing accounts to skip baseline controls
• D. Build a migration business case that includes infrastructure savings, licensing effects, operational changes, migration cost, risk reduction, and modernization value

The business case should compare total value and risk rather than just infrastructure replacement cost.
