An assessment collected data during a quiet weekend and recommends a much smaller target VM. The workload has month-end processing spikes. What should be done before approving the size?

Choose the single best answer.

A.Approve the smallest recommendation using only the quiet weekend utilization average
B.Exclude the month-end job from the assessment so the recommendation remains unchanged
C.Collect peak-period data and review assessment confidence
D.Keep the weekend average and compensate solely with an optimistic growth assumption

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Collect peak-period data and review assessment confidence

Sizing must reflect representative business demand and adequate evidence. Quiet averages can hide peaks, aggressive downsizing is unsafe with low confidence, and omitting a real dependency makes the assessment incomplete. Source guide: PDF page(s) 62.
