CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002)Business Principles of Cloud EnvironmentsMedium
A company is conducting a feasibility study for migrating its critical analytical workloads to a public cloud. The project team has identified that the existing on-premises data processing tools are not compatible with the cloud provider's managed services, and significant re-engineering would be required. This particular finding primarily impacts which aspect of the cloud feasibility study?
- ASchedule Feasibility
- BTechnical Feasibility
- COperational Feasibility
- DEconomic Feasibility
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility assesses whether the proposed cloud solution can be implemented with existing technology, skills, and infrastructure. The incompatibility of existing tools and the need for significant re-engineering directly relate to the technical challenges and capabilities required for the migration.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Schedule Feasibility assesses if the project can be completed within a reasonable timeframe.
- C. Operational Feasibility focuses on how the system will be used and how it fits into the organization's workflow.
- D. Economic Feasibility evaluates the costs and benefits of the proposed solution.
Technical Feasibility
An assessment of whether a proposed system can be developed and implemented using existing or acquire-able technology, skills, and resources.
- Evaluates technology compatibility
- Assesses required skills
- Determines re-engineering needs
Memory trick: Think of feasibility as checking if it's Possible (Technical), Worth it (Economic), Usable (Operational), and Timely (Schedule).
