Explanation

A question asking for the deployment model suited to the period of a gradual cloud migration.

  • 1move systems to AWS graduallyMigrate gradually, not all at once.
  • 2until the migration is completeA limited period during the migration.
  • 3using on-premises and AWS togetherConnecting and coexisting both = hybrid.
AIncorrect

Keep maintaining only on-premises.

Keeping only on-premises means the migration to AWS does not progress at all.

It does not meet the goal of migrating gradually, so it is incorrect.

BIncorrect

Migrate all systems to AWS at once immediately.

A big-bang migration is exactly the high-risk approach this question wants to avoid.

It conflicts with the requirement to migrate gradually, so it is incorrect.

CIncorrect

Distribute across multiple cloud providers at the same time.

Multi-cloud is a configuration that uses multiple cloud providers at the same time, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, to avoid dependence on a single vendor (vendor lock-in) and improve availability.

This question is about migrating gradually while using on-premises and AWS together, not about adding more providers, so it is incorrect.

DCorrect

Migrate gradually with a hybrid cloud.

Correct. During the migration period, the practical approach is a hybrid configuration that connects on-premises and AWS and moves systems to AWS gradually. You can migrate step by step while limiting risk, and shift to all-in cloud after the migration is complete.

Key Takeaway

During a gradual migration, the hybrid cloud is the practical answer. A big-bang migration is high-risk, and keeping only on-premises stalls the migration. Shifting to all-in after the migration is the standard flow.
