A basement datacenter permitting app is moved into public cloud VMs with minimal redesign. Which migration direction does this represent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The app lived in the basement; now it lives in cloud VMs — that is on-premises-to-cloud, plain and simple. You are not hopping provider-to-provider or dragging SaaS back downstairs. Minimal redesign still counts as a migration into the cloud.
Full Explanation
On-premises-to-cloud migration relocates workloads from local datacenters into cloud infrastructure or services. Moving a basement app onto public cloud VMs matches that direction even when redesign is light. Cloud-to-cloud and repatriation describe different source/target pairs; retirement removes the workload instead of relocating it.
