Migration Strategies
Rehost
Lift-and-Shift
Suitable for quick migrations, legacy systems that don’t require cloud optimisation, or businesses looking to reduce data center costs without altering their applications.
This approach involves moving applications from an on-premises environment to the cloud with minimal changes. It’s essentially a “lift-and-shift” method where the existing infrastructure is replicated in the cloud.
Replatform
Lift-and-Optimise
Ideal for applications that can benefit from cloud-specific enhancements without a complete overhaul. It strikes a balance between speed and optimisation.
This migration type involves making slight optimisations to the applications during the migration process to take advantage of some cloud-native features, such as managed services or improved database solutions.
Refactor
Re-Architect
This involves modifying the application’s architecture and code to leverage cloud-native capabilities such as microservices, serverless computing, or containerisation. It’s a more complex migration aimed at fully utilising cloud benefits.
Best for applications that require scalability, resilience, and agility, and for those that need to be modernised for future growth and innovation.
