Cloud+ Studet uide (Exam CVO-002) ACTIVITY 1-4
Selecting Systems and Applications for
Migration to the Cloud
Scenario
One of the members of the Executive Steering Committee has come to you asking about an in-
house application the Finance department uses extensively. He wants to know if this app is a good
fit to move to the cloud. The application was developed 16 years ago using a now out-of-date
language, and runs on a legacy operating system. The developer who wrote the application is no
longer with the company. The application provides a key service for the finance department and the
app data is stored within the application, not a database.
1. Can the finance app be moved to the cloud as is with minimal code changes?
Why or why not?
2. Should the finance app be moved to the cloud with more extensive code
changes? Why or why not?
3. Are there other factors that may affect the time and effort required to update
the finance app to make it ready for the cloud?
4. With the rest of the group, discuss the additional factors that may make an
application a bad candidate for the cloud, or will increase the effort required to
move to the cloud.​
