Question

Due to a competitor's unlimited data plan, a service provider is struggling and wants to transform its business services to be more hosting oriented. A cloud architect is tasked to review current cloud resource capacity and provide recommendations and a plan for better resource utilization. Given the following report:

Which of the following is the BEST option for the architect to suggest?

Options

  • ADownsize by migrating all media services to one server and decommission two servers.
  • BDownsize by decommissioning servers 2 and 3 and reallocate media servers to hosts.
  • CDownsize by migrating all media services to one server, add one host server, and decommission
  • DUpsize the hosting services by turning server 1 into a host server.

Why each option

To transform its business towards hosting and achieve better resource utilization, the cloud architect should consolidate existing services and decommission underutilized infrastructure.

ADownsize by migrating all media services to one server and decommission two servers.Correct

Downsizing by migrating all media services to a single server represents efficient consolidation of resources, reducing the overall infrastructure footprint and associated operational costs. Decommissioning two servers directly improves resource utilization by removing idle or underutilized hardware, making the remaining infrastructure more efficient for new hosting services.

BDownsize by decommissioning servers 2 and 3 and reallocate media servers to hosts.

While decommissioning servers 2 and 3 is good, 'reallocate media servers to hosts' is less explicit about full consolidation compared to migrating *all* media services to *one* server, potentially missing the full optimization opportunity.

CDownsize by migrating all media services to one server, add one host server, and decommission
DUpsize the hosting services by turning server 1 into a host server.
