An organization cannot afford to modernize their infrastructure, but they want to process data from their legacy system in a modem platform hosted by a business partner. What solution should the organ

The correct answer is C. An application programming interface. An API allows a legacy system to expose its data through a standardized interface so that a modern platform hosted by a business partner can consume it without requiring the organization to change or replace their existing infrastructure.

Why each option

An API allows a legacy system to expose its data through a standardized interface so that a modern platform hosted by a business partner can consume it without requiring the organization to change or replace their existing infrastructure.

ACompute Engine

Compute Engine provides virtual machine infrastructure and does not solve the problem of making legacy system data accessible to an external modern platform.

BAnthos

Anthos is a platform for application modernization and multi-cloud deployment, which requires investment in infrastructure and expertise that the organization explicitly cannot afford.

CAn application programming interfaceCorrect

APIs create a data-sharing bridge between the organization's unchanged legacy system and the partner's modern platform by defining a contract for how data is requested and returned. This approach requires no infrastructure investment or re-architecture on the organization's side, directly addressing their budget constraint while still enabling data accessibility.

DGoogle Kubernetes Engine

Google Kubernetes Engine is a managed container orchestration service and does not provide a mechanism for exposing legacy system data to a business partner.
