A business is planning to migrate from a private cloud to a public cloud. To document business continuity, which of the following should be done FIRST?

Question

Options

• ADevelop a disaster recovery plan with partners/third parties.
• BDefine the set of application-based SLAs.
• CIdentify HA technology to provide failover.
• DDefine the scope of requirements.

• A

• B
  71% (12)
• C
  18% (3)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

When migrating to a public cloud and documenting business continuity, defining application-based SLAs (Service Level Agreements) must come first because they establish the measurable standards-uptime, RTO (Recovery Time Objective), RPO (Recovery Point Objective)-that every downstream decision must satisfy. Without knowing what 'continuity' means for each application, you cannot meaningfully design a disaster recovery plan (A), select appropriate HA technology (C), or even fully scope requirements (D). SLAs are the baseline from which all other business continuity planning flows. Option D ('define scope') sounds foundational, but in the context of business continuity specifically, the SLA definitions ARE the scope-they quantify what must be preserved.
