County leadership wants cloud migration benefits framed as lower business risk from aging on-premises failure modes. Which CAF-aligned benefit theme does that framing match?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Getting off creaky basement servers that can take a whole department offline is a risk story. CAF talks about benefits like reduced business risk when cloud adoption improves resilience and modernizes brittle setups. Buying more racks, expanding the old data center forever, or ditching identity controls go the wrong direction.
Full Explanation
Reduced business risk is the CAF-aligned benefit theme that matches framing cloud migration as lower business risk from aging on-premises failure modes. County leadership is articulating risk reduction—fewer single-facility failure scenarios—rather than buying more iron.
Increased hardware purchase volume raises CapEx and does not describe a CAF cloud benefit. Mandatory multi-year data center expansion increases facilities risk and cost. Eliminating the need for any identity controls increases security risk and contradicts responsible adoption.
Exam caveat: CAF benefit themes include reduced business risk; do not answer with more hardware or weaker identity. Operational check: document current single-site failure modes, show how target AWS patterns reduce those scenarios, and present residual risks honestly to leadership.
