Question 20
UnclassifiedTo assist an organization with planning a cloud migration strategy to execution, an auditor should recommend the use of:
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Enterprise architecture (EA) provides the organization-wide blueprint for aligning business goals, applications, data, and technology. It supports cloud migration by defining the target state and sequencing changes from planning through execution, which is why auditors recommend it for migration strategy.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. enterprise architecture (EA).
Enterprise architecture is the appropriate governance framework here because it documents the current state, target state, and transition roadmap across business processes, applications, data, and infrastructure, which is exactly what is needed to move a cloud migration from planning into execution. In practice, this lets the organization sequence dependencies, identify gaps and risks, and control standards for the migration program; without that organization-wide blueprint, migration decisions are made piecemeal rather than against an approved target architecture.
B. object-oriented architecture.
C. service-oriented architecture.
D. software architecture
