CompTIA Exam CV0-004 Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's CV0-004 exam

Question #: 8
Topic #: 1

A cloud consultant needs to modernize a legacy application that can no longer address user demand and is expensive to maintain. Which of the following is the best migration

strategy?

ARetain

BRehost

CRefactor

DReplatform

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code without changing its external behavior. In cloud computing, it often means modifying the application to better leverage cloud-native features and services. This can address user demand and reduce maintenance costs by making the application more scalable, resilient, and manageable.

I believe Replatforming might also be a good option as it involves moving the application to a new platform.

Refactoring allows for the application to be updated and optimized for current user demands.

I think re-platforming could be a good option as it allows for some changes without completely starting from scratch.

Hmm, I don't know. Replatform (D) sounds a bit risky to me. I'd be worried about compatibility issues and hidden costs. Why not just bite the bullet and go for a full Refactor (C)? Yeah, it's more work, but you'll end up with a much stronger, future-proof application.

Ah, the age-old cloud migration dilemma. I'd say Replatform is the way to go - it's like getting a cloud-ready app without all the heavy lifting of a full refactor.

Hold up, what about Replatform (D)? That could be a good middle ground - moving the app to a newer, cloud-based platform without a full rewrite. Might be a bit more work than Rehost, but could pay off in the long run.

I agree, Refactor (C) seems like the way to go. You want to modernize the application while minimizing the impact, and that means improving the code and architecture without a full rebuild. Rehost (B) might be a quick fix, but it doesn't really solve the underlying issues.

I'm with Clement on this one. Replatform seems like the best balance between modernization and effort.

Refactor could work, but it might be a lot of work. Replatform could be a good compromise - migrate to a managed service in the cloud to reduce maintenance costs.

This is a tricky one. The key is to really understand the situation - a legacy application that can't keep up with user demand and is expensive to maintain. I'm leaning towards Refactor (C) as the best option, but I can see arguments for some of the other choices as well.

I don't know, I feel like Refactor could be the way to go. If the app is legacy and expensive to maintain, we might as well take the opportunity to modernize it.

Rehost seems like the easiest way to go, right? Just lift and shift the app to the cloud without making any major changes.
