Fremont, CA : Each cloud migration will be different, and these techniques aren't mutually exclusive or conclusive. When running a cloud transformation workshop or brainstorming session, they can be used as instructions and conversation starters.
At different stages of a cloud migration project, all or any of these techniques can be easily incorporated:
Rehosting:
Also known as lift and move, it involves moving servers or software from their current hosting environment to a public cloud infrastructure. For organizations just beginning their migration journey, rehosting and lift and change are traditional strategies. Running servers on a pay-as-you-go scalable public cloud platform has many advantages, so it's a relatively low-risk migration technique. Working backward from a set constraint or a hard deadline is a perfect technique.
Re-platforming:
Lift and change are influenced by re-platforming. During the migration point, re-platforming allows device optimizations.
Repurchase:
Drop end shop is a term used to describe repurchase. This refers to a company's decision to switch to a different product, which could include terminating existing licensing and repurposing services on a new platform or service. This may be a CRM framework or a business application that isn't designed to operate on cloud infrastructures. Since code can be moved from one provider to another, this is often not required for applications written with modern application code. When using a proprietary data-based platform or proprietary product, the repurchase technique is often used.
Refactoring:
The desire to develop services is usually the driving force behind refactoring or rearchitecting. This could be because improving the existing environment is challenging, or it could be necessary to increase availability and reliability immediately to satisfy particular security or enforcement criteria. A lot depends on the type of service you choose to refactor when it comes to refactoring. If the service isn't mission-critical, it may be possible to rearchitect it during the migration process. If you don't have a time limit, refactoring can be performed during the first step of migration; otherwise, it's easier to do it later.
Retain:
You may want to keep some of your IT portfolios throughout the cloud migration period. There are several programs that you are not ready to move to the cloud and would rather keep on-premise. This scenario makes sense to keep some of your IT services in place when implementing a hybrid or partial migration strategy. This is also appropriate if existing regulatory or constitutional requirements require you to store or operate portions of your services or business application on-premise or in particular regions.
Retiring:
Retiring services entails recognizing assets and services that can be switched off so that the company can concentrate on services that are commonly used and have immediate value.
