A company wants to migrate some of its applications' test environments to the public cloud. Testing environments are deployed on a dedicated storage array. Which of the following techniques is MOST su

Storage replication level typically involves replicating raw block storage between arrays, which does not inherently convert or adapt applications and operating systems for a new virtualized cloud environment.

VM replication level assumes the source is already a virtual machine and focuses on replication rather than the broader transformation and migration process needed to move to a different virtualized platform in the cloud.

File system replication only copies files and directories, which is insufficient for migrating entire application environments, including operating systems, installed software, and system configurations.

Migrating environments from on-premise infrastructure, which could include physical servers or VMs on a dedicated storage array, to a public cloud requires converting them into a virtual machine format compatible with the cloud provider's hypervisor. 'Virtual to virtual' (V2V) conversion, which often encompasses Physical to Virtual (P2V) if needed, broadly describes the process of moving and transforming server instances between different virtualization platforms or from on-premises to cloud, ensuring the entire environment functions correctly in the new virtualized setting.
