What should you do?

1. A. Export the VMs into VMDK format, and import them into Compute Engine
2. B. Export the VMs into VMDK format, and import them into Google Cloud VMware Engine
3. C. Migrate the workloads using Migrate for Compute Engine
4. D. Migrate the workloads using Migrate for Anthos

Correct Answer: D
Anthos: Anthos lets you build, deploy, and manage applications anywhere in a secure, consistent manner. You can modernize existing applications running on virtual machines while deploying cloud-native apps on containers in an increasingly hybrid and multi-cloud world.
