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.
Explanation
The architect should consolidate all media services onto a single server and decommission two underutilized servers to reduce operational costs while transitioning to a hosting-oriented business model.
Common mistakes.
- B. Decommissioning servers 2 and 3 before confirming the remaining server can absorb all media workloads risks service disruption without validating the consolidation path first.
- C. Adding a new host server while also consolidating and decommissioning introduces unnecessary capital expenditure that conflicts with the cost-reduction goal of downsizing the infrastructure.
- D. Converting only server 1 to a host without decommissioning any servers fails to reduce infrastructure overhead and does not address the underutilization identified in the capacity report.
Concept tested. Cloud resource consolidation and capacity right-sizing
