IBM C1000-189 Exam - Topic 2 Question 12 Discussion

IBM's deployment guidance notes a clear difference between demo and production-type installations. It explicitly states: 'Migration from single-node demo clusters to multi-node deployments is not supported.' Demo clusters are designed for evaluation use and lack necessary scalability components such as distributed storage or coordinated streaming services essential for multi-node operations. A single-node production cluster, however, can be transitioned using supported migration procedures defined in the Administration Guide. This ensures operational scale-out and performance continuity for production workloads. Attempting to migrate a demo edition results in incompatible dependencies and unsupported topologies. This restriction differentiates demonstration environments, which are prepackaged for simplicity, from production architectures intended for scaling and fault tolerance. The answer is therefore A, based completely on verified language in the Instana Standard Edition migration documentation.
