CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002)Business Principles of Cloud EnvironmentsMedium
A financial institution is migrating its legacy applications to a cloud environment. During the initial assessment phase, they identify that some critical applications are highly dependent on specific hardware and operating system versions that are not supported by the target cloud provider. This situation primarily highlights a challenge in which aspect of cloud feasibility?
- ASchedule Feasibility
- BOperational Feasibility
- CTechnical Feasibility
- DEconomic Feasibility
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility evaluates whether the proposed cloud solution can be implemented with existing technology, resources, and capabilities. Incompatibility with specific hardware and OS versions directly relates to the technical ability to migrate and run applications in the cloud.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Schedule feasibility refers to whether the migration can be completed within a reasonable timeframe.
- B. Operational feasibility concerns how the new system will integrate into existing workflows and processes.
- D. Economic feasibility deals with cost-effectiveness and financial viability.
Technical Feasibility
An assessment of the practical and technical resources required to implement a proposed project or solution, determining if the technology exists and can be integrated.
- Evaluates compatibility with existing systems and infrastructure.
- Assesses availability of required hardware, software, and skills.
- Determines if the project is technically achievable.
