No criteria have been documented for where each transformed workload should be deployed, and the plan is due for sign-off this week. What should drive that decision?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You should let each workload's architecture, data gravity, integration needs, and governance requirements drive deployment. A slogan, demo speed, or vendor preference doesn't tell you where it belongs.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is the option that says deployment should be driven by the enterprise's own architecture, data gravity, integration needs, and governance requirements for each workload. Each workload has its own architecture, where its data already lives, what it needs to integrate with, and what governance applies to it; those factors, taken together, determine the right deployment option for that workload specifically. The option calling for a blanket rule that every workload must be moved off IBM Z is incorrect because assuming everything must leave IBM Z ignores cases where data gravity or governance make staying, or a hybrid approach, the right call. The option based on whichever environment happened to run the fastest during the initial demo is incorrect because a demo environment is optimised for a demonstration, not for production characteristics like data gravity and integration. The option based on the preference of whichever vendor is currently engaged, regardless of the workload, is incorrect because a deployment decision should be driven by the enterprise's needs, not by vendor preference. For the exam, expect deployment choice to be tied to architecture, data gravity, integration and governance, evaluated per workload.
