Rehosting
“lift and shift”, move applications without changes, no optimizations, scale quickly to meet a business case
Replatforming
“lift, tinker, and shift”, involves making a few cloud optimizations, no new dev efforts, optimization is achieved without changing the core architecture
Refactoring/Re-Architecting
reimagining how an application is architected and developed using cloud-native features. Driven by a strong business need to add features, scale, or performance that would otherwise be difficult to achieve in the application’s existing environment
Repurchasing
involves moving from a traditional license to a software-as-a-service model
A business might choose to implement by migrating from a CRM system to Salesforce
Retaining
keeping applications that are critical for the business in the source environment. Might include applications that require major refactoring before they can be migrated, or, work that can be postponed until a later time
Retiring
the process of removing applications that are no longer needed
