Complete the sentence. A server consolidation project that does not change the operating characteristics of the applications would require _____.
Catch here is "no operating characteristics change, which means no re-architecting". So answer is E: Simplification Change. There are three main categories of architecture change: 1. Simplification: this can be handled via change management techniques. 2. Incremental: this may be handled via change management techniques, or it may require partial rearchitecting. 3. Re-architecting: this requires putting the whole architecture through the architecture development cycle again.
E is correct - "If the change is at an infrastructure level - for example, ten systems reduced or changed to one system - this may not change the architecture above the physical layer, but it will change the Baseline Description of the Technology Architecture. This would be a simplification change handled via change management techniques."
i prefer choose A: that not change application, But can change other IT Components, So we need to iterate on all ADM Phases
each project need to have a business need, "server consolidation" planned for some reason!!

This would be a simplification change handled via change management techniques.
