A company is beginning its migration journey using the AWS migration phases. In this phase, the company builds a business case, conducts a portfolio assessment, and creates a landing zone with foundational networking, identity, and security services before any workloads are migrated. Which migration phase is the company in?
- AMobilize
- BMigrate and Modernize
- COperate
- DAssess
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Mobilize
The Mobilize phase focuses on creating a migration plan, building the business case, addressing gaps identified in the Assess phase, and setting up a landing zone with core AWS infrastructure such as networking, identity, and security, in preparation for migrating workloads.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Migrate and Modernize is when workloads are actually moved and optimized, which has not yet occurred here.
- C. Operate is not one of the three core AWS migration phases; ongoing operations happen after Migrate and Modernize.
- D. The Assess phase focuses on evaluating organizational readiness and building the initial business case at a high level, before detailed planning.
AWS Migration Phases: Mobilize
The second phase of the AWS migration process, where organizations refine the business case, address readiness gaps, and build a landing zone before migrating workloads.
- Follows the Assess phase
- Includes landing zone setup (networking, identity, security)
- Precedes the Migrate and Modernize phase
Memory trick: Assess the fit, Mobilize the plan, Migrate the workload.
