A customer is migrating from their On-Premises AEM 6.4 instances to AEM as a Cloud Service. Next to the required code refactoring, a content migration of approximately 100,000 pages needs to be…

Question

Options

• AMigrate the content using Lazy Content Migration approach
• BUpscale the memory of the On-Premise AEM instance
• CMigrate content deltas using a query-based packaging tool
• DEnsure sufficient storage space on the On-Premise AEM instance
• EMigrate the content using the Content Transfer Tool

• A
  10% (3)
• B
  63% (19)
• C
  7% (2)
• E
  20% (6)

Explanation

Note for exam takers: The stated correct answers here (B, D) are infrastructure prerequisites - but this conflicts with widely published Adobe migration guidance, which recommends the Content Transfer Tool (E) and/or delta-based incremental transfers (C) as the primary architectural answers for minimizing freeze windows with large content sets. If you encounter this question on the real exam, be aware the answer key may vary by source.

Explaining B and D as intended:

Upscaling the On-Premises instance's memory (B) and ensuring sufficient storage (D) directly support a faster, more reliable migration execution. With 100,000 pages, the source AEM instance must handle heavy package creation and content extraction; insufficient memory or disk space causes failures and restarts that extend the freeze window - the exact opposite of what the customer wants.

Why the other options are typically considered distractors here:

• A (Lazy Content Migration) defers content migration to run in the background post-deployment; it reduces go-live blocking work but doesn't specifically address limiting the freeze for editors pre-migration.
• C (Query-based packaging tool for deltas) is a valid delta migration technique, but Adobe's official guidance points to the Content Transfer Tool's built-in Top Up feature for AEMaaCS migrations rather than separate packaging tools.
• E (Content Transfer Tool) is actually Adobe's primary recommended tool for AEMaaCS migrations and broadly considered correct - its inclusion as a distractor here makes this question controversial among practitioners.

Memory tip: Think "infrastructure before execution" - B and D are about preparing the source server to handle migration load without interruptions, which keeps the freeze short. If your exam source considers CTT a given assumption, B and D fill in the prerequisite gaps.
