Each "R" represents a unique strategy for system handling during migration.
𝟭. 𝗥𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 (𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁):
Quick migration without significant optimization or transformation
𝟮. 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 (𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁, 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁):
Optimize for cloud services without rewriting the entire application
𝟯. 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 (𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽):
Replace existing system with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or SaaS solution
𝟰. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 (𝗿𝗲-𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁):
Make significant changes to architecture, design, and code for cloud optimization
𝟱. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲:
Move workloads to different cloud regions or providers
𝟲. 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 (𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻):
Decommission unnecessary or unsuitable workloads
𝟳. 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 (𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿):
Retain workloads on-premise and Revisit for future migration opportunities
I remember working with a client who decided to repurchase with a SaaS tool instead of refactoring—and it saved months of effort. Posts like this make cloud migration strategies easier to digest for both tech teams and business leaders. Looking forward to seeing deeper case studies around these choices.
