Standing up doesn't make sense here. Should be better explained these two scenarios.

"- Lift-and-shift migration: You’re standing up cloud resources similar to your on-prem datacenter, and then simply moving the things running on-prem to running on the IaaS infrastructure.

  • Testing and development: You have established configurations for development and test environments that you need to rapidly replicate. You can stand up or shut down the different environments rapidly with an IaaS structure, while maintaining complete control."

    Hello, @Odeta Penikaite !

    Thank you for your feedback! We've passed this along to the content team for review.

    Edit: @Odeta Penikaite , it appears the phrase "stand up" is used somewhat exclusively with computer systems, web development, and by government and military organizations. Given that this is an introductory course and that "set up" would be a more universal alternative, I'll make sure this is covered in the next review session.

    Where do I see this?

    What am I seeing?
    The phrase "standing up" is confusing in the context of the Lift-and-shift migration and Testing and development descriptions:

    • "You’re standing up cloud resources similar to your on-prem datacenter..."
    • "You can stand up or shut down the different environments rapidly..."
