Tableau Certified Consultant TCC-C01 Question # 15 Topic 2 Discussion

To minimize user impact and costs while migrating from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud with multiple sites, the best solution is:

Single Tableau Cloud Instance with Multiple Projects: Instead of multiple sites which could imply higher management overhead and possibly higher costs, configuring one Tableau Cloud instance with different project folders for each former site (Finance, Strategy, Marketing) is most efficient.

Benefits: This setup maintains organizational separation of data and access similar to having different sites but leverages the unified management and simplicity of a single cloud instance. It reduces complexity in user access management and integration points.

Implementation: Each project folder acts like a mini-site within the larger instance, where specific permissions and content can be managed independently, akin to the original server setup but within a single cloud-based environment.

ReferencesThis recommendation is in line with best practices for cloud migration focusing on consolidation and cost efficiency, as suggested in Tableau’s official documentation for cloud migration strategies.
