A customer intends to deploy a new workload while the networking that will carry it is being replaced over the following two quarters. What should the architect establish first?
A.
Whether the refresh could be brought forward so that it finishes before the workload starts.
B.
How much traffic the workload will add once it is fully in service, and at what times of day.
C.
Which parts of the refresh the workload depends on, and when those parts complete.
D.
Which supplier is accountable if the two programmes delay one another.
Option C is correct. A parallel network refresh creates specific prerequisites for the new workload. Identify which switches, routes, policies or bandwidth upgrades must be complete and their dates before rescheduling projects or assigning blame. An Edge-to-Cloud implementation combines physical capacity, connectivity, software integration and operational readiness. Dependencies should be commissioned and tested before the workloads relying on them, with deviations subject to controlled review. The other choices either substitute unverified assumptions for the customer’s actual evidence or solve a secondary issue rather than the controlling requirement. The architect should retain evidence for this decision in the requirements matrix, architectural assumptions, implementation plan and acceptance criteria. That discipline establishes a defensible link between the customer’s stated need and the capabilities delivered. Delivery must follow an approved design and dependency-based implementation sequence. Verify site prerequisites, integration compatibility, change control and acceptance evidence; operational handover should establish that the receiving organisation can sustain the deployed capabilities.
