Question 880
A design review identifies: An organization is halfway through cloud migration and needs governance visibility of remaining on-prem servers without claiming they are running in Azure. The failure is: A migration dashboard excludes critical servers until their final Azure VM cutover. Select TWO distinct decisions that together provide the immediate technical solution AND an ongoing prevention control. A verification-only step does not replace either responsibility.
- Use Azure Migrate assessment and business case cost estimates grounded in discovered utilization and licensing assumptions.
- Rehearse test migration, cleanup and rollback after source VM changes.
- Use Azure Migrate discovery and assessment with a suitable appliance and performance-based sizing.
- Use Azure Arc-enabled Servers to inventory hybrid machines and apply supported policies/extensions.
- Maintain agent health and differentiate discovered, Arc-managed and migrated machine states.
Explanation
Correct Answers
D:This option addresses the actual design defect: The hybrid governance model incorrectly limits inventory to cloud-native servers. The correction is: Use Azure Arc-enabled Servers to inventory hybrid machines and apply supported policies/extensions. Confirm the outcome with: Register one on-prem machine and confirm inventory/policy reports while it remains physically on-premises.
E:This is an ongoing protection specific to the fault: Maintain agent health and differentiate discovered, Arc-managed and migrated machine states. The recurrence risk is: The hybrid governance model incorrectly limits inventory to cloud-native servers. It should be checked using: Register one on-prem machine and confirm inventory/policy reports while it remains physically on-premises.
Incorrect Answers
A:That design instead addresses another observed condition: A migration proposal assumes every on-prem CPU must map to an equally large Azure VM. Its technical cause is: The cost model ignores actual measured utilization and licensing optimization. The current workload exhibits: A migration dashboard excludes critical servers until their final Azure VM cutover. Its targeted remedy is: Use Azure Arc-enabled Servers to inventory hybrid machines and apply supported policies/extensions.
B:This is a reasonable safeguard for a different fault: A one-time disk copy causes extended outage and incomplete changes after initial transfer. That different mechanism is: A continuous migration replication and controlled cutover process was not planned. The original incident here instead arises from: The hybrid governance model incorrectly limits inventory to cloud-native servers. The directly relevant safeguard is: Maintain agent health and differentiate discovered, Arc-managed and migrated machine states.
C:The option belongs to a different failure mechanism: No structured server discovery and utilization assessment was completed. That situation exhibits: Migration planning uses manually guessed VM sizes and misses application dependencies. For the stated case, the remedy is: Use Azure Arc-enabled Servers to inventory hybrid machines and apply supported policies/extensions.
Question 881
A design workshop has this requirement: A financial firm must categorize workloads by rehost, refactor, rearchitect, replace and retire choices before committing to a cloud migration program. Operators currently observe: All legacy applications are blindly rehosted even when SaaS replacements or retirement would avoid migration cost. Select the ONE design remedy that best addresses the root cause.
- Use Azure Migrate discovery and assessment with a suitable appliance and performance-based sizing.
- Use Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework migration planning and rationalization to assess business value and technical fit per workload.
- Use Azure Migrate assessment and business case cost estimates grounded in discovered utilization and licensing assumptions.
- Use Azure Arc-enabled Servers to inventory hybrid machines and apply supported policies/extensions.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The targeted implementation is: Use Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework migration planning and rationalization to assess business value and technical fit per workload. The problem is not generic resource availability: Application portfolio rationalization was skipped before migration execution. Verify the result by: Classify representative apps with owners, dependencies, retirement candidates and selected migration approaches.
Incorrect Answers

Question 884
Workload context: A financial firm must categorize workloads by rehost, refactor, rearchitect, replace and retire choices before committing to a cloud migration program. The implemented remedy is: Use Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework migration planning and rationalization to assess business value and technical fit per workload. Which ongoing practice most specifically prevents recurrence of this failure: All legacy applications are blindly rehosted even when SaaS replacements or retirement would avoid migration cost.?
- Maintain agent health and differentiate discovered, Arc-managed and migrated machine states.
- Revisit application dispositions and owner sign-off after dependency discovery changes.
- Refresh discovery data and application grouping before every migration wave.
