A user is moving a workload from a local data center to an architecture that is distributed between the local data center and the AWS Cloud. Which type of migration is this?

Question

Options

• AOn-premises to cloud native
• BHybrid to cloud native
• COn-premises to hybrid
• DCloud native to hybrid

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  89% (33)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

On-premises to Hybrid is correct (Option C) because the workload is starting fully in a local data center (on-premises) and moving to an architecture that spans both the local data center and AWS Cloud - which is the definition of a hybrid environment.

Why the other options are wrong:

• A (On-premises to cloud native) is incorrect because the destination is not fully in the cloud; part of the workload remains on-premises.
• B (Hybrid to cloud native) is incorrect because the starting point is a purely on-premises environment, not a hybrid one.
• D (Cloud native to hybrid) is incorrect because nothing is starting in the cloud - the migration begins entirely on-premises.

Memory tip: Think of the migration as a journey with a starting point → destination. On-premises = fully local, Hybrid = split between local and cloud, Cloud native = fully in the cloud. Map the question's description to these definitions: "local data center → local + AWS" translates directly to on-premises → hybrid.
