A cloud engineer is preparing to migrate a business-critical database from on-premises to a cloud-managed database service. The migration must minimize downtime to under 5 minutes. Which migration strategy best meets this requirement?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Continuous replication to the cloud database with a planned cutover during a maintenance window. Continuous replication synchronizes data from the source to the target database in near-real-time, so the cutover involves only stopping writes to the source and redirecting connections to the target — minimizing downtime to minutes or less. The CompTIA Cloud+ V4 Deployment domain covers workload migrations including strategies to meet business continuity requirements.
