When migrating complex workloads to VMs/VSIs on IBM Cloud, what is a critical consideration?

Question

Options

• AIgnoring security and compliance requirements
• BSelecting the right VM/VSI sizes based on performance needs
• CAvoiding any form of data encryption during migration
• DUsing only free-tier services for migration

• A
  9% (3)
• B
  71% (25)
• C
  14% (5)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Selecting the right VM/VSI sizes based on performance needs (B) is critical because undersized instances cause performance bottlenecks while oversized ones waste money - right-sizing ensures workloads run efficiently and cost-effectively in the cloud environment. Option A is wrong because security and compliance requirements must be prioritized, not ignored, especially during migration when data is in transit. Option C is wrong because data encryption is a best practice during migration to protect sensitive data from interception. Option D is wrong because free-tier services typically lack the resources, SLAs, and capabilities needed to support complex production workloads.

Memory tip: Think "Goldilocks Migration" - you need VMs that are just right in size. Too small = poor performance, too large = wasted budget, wrong security = compliance violations.
